JK National Highway Traffic Updates for 1st June 2026
General Traffic Update
From 30-05-2026, 1600 hrs to 31-05-2026, 1600 hrs, slow traffic movement was observed on NH-44 due to single-lane conditions between Marog and Kishtwar, heavy rainfall, and movement of nomadic herds.
Two nomadic herds were reported crossing near Nachlana–Banihal. Crossing of single-lane stretches at Marog and Kishtwar is likely to slow down traffic. Commuters are advised to follow lane discipline and avoid overtaking.
Passengers/operators are advised to plan journeys on Jammu–Srinagar NHW during daytime. Night travel is discouraged due to:
Possibility of shooting stones/landslides
Movement of nomads towards the valley
Ongoing construction work between Ramban and Banihal
