The national highway between Jammu and Srinagar was closed for traffic on Saturday morning after landslides in Ramban district.
The only all-weather road linking Kashmir with the rest of the country had to be shut after overnight rainfall triggered a landslide in Ramban district some 130 kilometres away from Srinagar. Authorities reached the spot soon after and work to restore the road was started.
Another major road in the state - the Mughal road between Srinagar and Leh and between Srinagar and Pooch was also shut on Friday.
