"Intending passengers are advised not to undertake a journey before contacting traffic police control rooms in Jammu and Srinagar," the official said.

The 300 km long highway is the lifeline for supplies to the landlocked Kashmir Valley. All essentials of life are routed to the valley through this highway.
