Traffic Advisory: NH-44 Partially Restored, Commuters Urged to Avoid Against-Travel

Jammu 15 September :- Traffic is moving normally on the SSG and Sinthan roads as per the official advisory. On the Mughal Road, traffic is also plying as advised; however, commuters should expect slow movement on the stretch between Herpora and Pir Ki Gali due to heavy congestion caused by fruit-laden heavy motor vehicles.

While down traffic from Srinagar towards Jammu is currently operational, authorities have issued a strict advisory urging commuters not to travel against the official guidance on this route.
