JAMMU/SRINAGAR: Restoration of traffic on a stretch of the Jammu-Srinagar highway, damaged due to landslides and flash floods after Sunday's heavy rain, will take up to six days, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said on Monday.
The situation was challenging due to massive deposit of debris on the highway at more than a dozen places, particularly the 4km stretch between Seri and Marog, NHAI project director Purshottam Kumar Sharma said.
Around 300 vehicles are stranded at various places in the rain-battered district, where three people, including two minor siblings, died and 350 were shifted to safety on Sunday.
