There are reports of heavy snowfall in many of the higher reaches of the state as well, including in some of the areas along the nearly 300-km long Srinagar-Jammu National Highway forcing its closure.
“Srinagar-Jammu National Highway has been closed for traffic due to bad weather,” an official of the Traffic Department told PTI.
He said there was snowfall of around two feet near Jawahar Tunnel and other areas along the highway the only all-weather road-link connecting Kashmir with the rest of the country so the authorities decided to suspend the traffic.
