Jammu-Srinagar National Highway Closed For Traffic Due to 'Repair' Works | Latest Updates Here

Jammu: The Jammu-Srinagar national highway was closed for traffic on Tuesday, the officials said, without disclosing the reason for the sudden closure. 

Though the authorities didn't give any reason, the sources claimed that the national highway has been closed for traffic for repair and maintainance work. 

Besides highway closure, the traffic between Jammu and other locations including Chennai, Doda, Ramban, Banihal and Patnitop have also been suspended.
