Jammu-Srinagar Highway partially restored, Kishtwar-Sinthan Road Reopens

Traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NHW) has now been partially restored, offering some relief to travellers amid ongoing weather-related disruptions. An official confirmed that efforts are actively being made to clear the numerous stranded vehicles between Nashri and the NAVYUG Tunnel, which had been halted due to adverse conditions. This slowdown has caused significant delays and inconvenience for commuters and freight consignments travelling through the region.

In addition to the highway updates, the Kishtwar-Sinthan road has also been reopened to traffic, alleviating some pressure on the local transport network. The reopening of these routes marks a crucial step forward in restoring connectivity in the region, which frequently faces disruptions owing to heavy rains, snowfall, or landslides, particularly during the monsoon season.

Officials continue to monitor weather conditions and carry out clearance operations to facilitate a full resumption of normal traffic flow soon. The partial reopening of these vital routes is seen as an important development in ensuring the movement of essential supplies and maintaining communication linkages within Jammu and Kashmir. Travellers are advised to stay updated on official advisories as further efforts are made to restore complete connectivity.
