TRAFFIC PLAN & ADVISORY FOR 29-05-2026
From 27-05-2026, 1600 hrs to 28-05-2026, 1600 hrs, slow traffic movement was observed on NH-44 due to single-lane conditions between Marog and Kishtwar Pather, in addition to breakdown of an HMV at Ramsu, and the movement of 02 nomadic herds (crossing Nachlana–Banihal).
Owing to the ongoing movement of nomadic herds, traffic on the single-lane stretch from Marog to Kishtwar Pather is likely to slow down. Commuters are advised to follow lane discipline and avoid overtaking.
Passengers/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, as well as ongoing construction work between Ramban and Banihal, which may cause inconvenience to commuters.
