JK National Highway Traffic Updates for 30th May 2026
From 28-05-2026, 1600 hrs to 29-05-2026, 1600 hrs, slow traffic movement was observed on NH-44 due to single-lane conditions between Marog and Kishtwari Pather, in addition to breakdown of 02 HMVs at Digdol, and movement of nomadic herds (crossing Nachlana–Banihal).
