JK National Highway Traffic Updates for 2nd June 2026
From 31-05-2026, 1600 hrs to 01-06-2026, 1600 hrs, slow traffic movement was observed on NH-44 due to single-lane conditions between Marog and Kishtwar Batter, in addition to breakdown of 02 HMVs at Digdol and Nachlana, and the movement of 04 nomadic herds (crossing Nachlana–Banihal).

Passenger/LMV operators are advised to prefer journey on Jammu–Srinagar NHW during daytime. Night travel should be avoided due to apprehension of shooting stones/landslides, movement of nomads towards valley, and ongoing construction work between Nashri and Banihal which may cause inconvenience.
