SRINAGAR — The vital Jammu-Srinagar highway, serving as the sole road link between Kashmir and the outside world, faced a severe disruption due to shooting stones at the T2 tunnel.

An official source quoted by a local news agency said that the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NHW) has been obstructed due to shooting stones at T2, a consequence of heavy rainfall and snowfall between Ramsoo and Banihal.

Authorities caution the public against embarking on journeys along NHW until the road is successfully cleared. Travelers are advised to consult the traffic control unit for real-time updates before commencing their trips.

In addition to the Jammu-Srinagar highway blockage, the official noted that both the Mughal road and Srinagar-Sonamarg road are already inaccessible due to significant snow accumulation, intensifying the travel challenges for the region.
