Incessant rains along the Jammu-Srinagar national highway have triggered landslides, which led to shutting down of the road. A landslide struck the highway, the only all-weather road connecting Kashmir with the rest of India, in Maroog area, forcing authorities to suspend traffic on the highway. Vehicles were stranded on both sides. A road clearance operation was underway despite drizzle and efforts were on to remove the blockade from the highway as soon as possible. High-altitude areas in the state have experienced moderate snowfall since March 1, resulting in considerable drop in temperatures.
