Ramban, Dec 8: Srinagar–Jammu National Highway (NH-44) remained open for two-way movement of light, medium, and heavy vehicles on Monday, traffic officials said.

In a fresh advisory issued for Tuesday, the Traffic department announced that, subject to fair weather and satisfactory road conditions, NH-44 would continue to remain open for all categories of vehicles.

Officials overseeing traffic regulation noted that although the highway remained functional in both directions throughout the day, vehicular movement was slow at several stretches, including Balli Nullah, Dewal, Nashri–Dalwas, Maroog, and Kishtwari Pather between Udhampur and Banihal.

The single-lane conditions at many locations, coupled with the breakdown of several heavy vehicles, contributed to the sluggish traffic flow.
