Jammu Srinagar National Highway Traffic Plan for 12.04.2017

The narrow width of the NHW at Seri, Gangroo, Panthyal, Hingni and Sherbibi coupled with over all condition of the road from Ramban-Ramsoo- Banihal makes the regulation of the traffic on the NHW difficult and therefore plying of two-way traffic is not feasible.

Therefore, subject to fair weather/ good condition of the road and clearance from Traffic Control Units, only one way movement of traffic shall be allowed on the NHW on 12.04.2017. Under the said plan, movement of traffic (excluding Trailers/multi-axle vehicles) shall be allowed from Srinagar towards Jammu side in a regulated manner. Movement of the traffic shall be allowed from Levdora (Qazigund) from 0700 hours and all these vehicles shall cross Jawahar Tunnel by 1300 hours positively. However, in order to avoid congestion on the NHW, cut off timing for all the Jammu bound vehicles shall be 1000 hours at Pantha Chowk (Srinagar) beyond which no Jammu bound vehicle shall be allowed to cross the said location and instead they shall be parked at appropriate places in an orderly manner so that no hindrance is caused to the movement of normal traffic.

No movement of any sort of traffic shall be allowed from Jammu towards Srinagar side on 12.04.2017 under any circumstances to ensure hassle free movement of traffic on the NHW.
