National Highway remains cut off for 4th consecutive day
The Kashmir valley remained cut off from the rest of the world for the fourth day Friday due to closure of the 300-km-long Kashmir highway due to landslides and fresh snowfall.
Closure of the highway has resulted in shortage of essentials, particularly fresh vegetables while the prices of other items, including chicken, has witnessed sharp increase in the Valley.
Meanwhile, hundreds of vehicles, including trucks and oil tankers, remained stranded at different places on the highway, including Qazigund on this side of the Jawahar tunnel and Batote, Kud, Nagrota and Udhampur for the past four days.
Traffic on the highway remained suspended due to landslides and shooting stones besides fresh snowfall, a traffic police official told Kashmir Post.
