Only Downward Traffic (Srinagar to Jammu) Allowed on National Highway on Nov 1-2
SRINAGAR (ATP) – The Traffic Police Headquarters in Jammu and Kashmir has announced temporary traffic restrictions on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway (NH-44) on November 1 and 2, in view of the biannual Durbar Move.
According to an advisory issued by the Inspector General of Police (Traffic) J&K, only downward traffic (from Srinagar towards Jammu) will be permitted on the highway on the designated dates. This measure is intended to facilitate the smooth and safe movement of government officials and convoys carrying important records from the Civil Secretariat in Srinagar to Jammu, the winter capital.
Crucially, no upward traffic, including heavy motor vehicles, paramilitary forces, or other government convoys, shall be permitted to travel from Jammu to Srinagar on November 1 and 2.
The restriction is a temporary measure put in place to ensure the safe passage of official convoys and to prevent congestion on the vital highway. Emergency or essential traffic will only be permitted with prior approval from the Traffic Police Headquarters.
The advisory urged all motorists to plan their travel accordingly and avoid unnecessary movement on the specified dates. Traffic Control Rooms at Srinagar, Ramban, Udhampur, and Jammu will remain operational round the clock to monitor the situation.
The public has been requested to cooperate with authorities and strictly follow the advisories for their own convenience and safety during the official move period.
