Tourists stranded as Srinagar to Jammu highway remains closed

Hundreds of tourists remained stranded in Kashmir as the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway, the only all-weather road link connecting the valley with the rest of the country, was closed for traffic for the second day on Wednesday.

The closure of the highway has left many travellers stuck



here.

“I have been stuck here for the last two days. We had come here to enjoy snow, but it is this snow that has become our punishment,” Kailash, a tourist from Rajasthan, told Media. 

He appealed to the authorities to clear the road “anyhow” and “allow us to go as our families are waiting for us”.
