“NH-44, Mughal road and SSG road are blocked due to 2 landslides. People are advised not to travel till clearance,” Jammu and Kashmir Traffic Police said in a tweet.
The 250-km Jammu-Srinagar National Highway is the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with the rest of the country, and Mughal Road connects Bufliaz town in the Jammu region’s Poonch district to the Shopian district of Kashmir. The 84-kilometre road traces a historic route used in the Mughal period over the Pir Panjal Pass.

Last month also the NH-44 was blocked due to multiple landslides and shooting stones from the hillock at Cafeteria Morh and Mehar in Ramban town. (ANI)
