Jammu-Srinagar highway closed due to shooting stones in Ramban

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

When mountains cry they drop boulders.

This is most dangerous highway and i had traveled multiple times through it.

[rohitgoyal]

The velocity of the stones were so fast that if they would've hit the car there would've been a proper hole in the car.

[kunalpratapsingh]

Even mountain throw stone in Kashmir 😂😂

I have been through this road on way to Srinagar from Jammu. And this experience, I remember it very well.
There was rain and the rocks stated shooting at our car side gate and we were terrified.

[meertahir]

They shall complete Vailoo - Singhpora Tunnel ASAP...

Couldn't you have mentioned "Falling" stones?

[megharshagowda]

I don't know why we still have most dangerous roads in the world. Road safety is not even a concern.

[jaspalreen]

Even today the situation has not changed. I travelled on this road yesterday and it took 6hours to cover 93kms from Batote to Jammu. The NHAI is not carrying out the work in right perspective and people continue to suffer.
I feel it is going to take at least five years for the road to take some shape and even that would not be adequate.
They need a fresh alignment from Udhampur to Kazikund, present alignment is not good enough off to take even the present load forget the future adequacy.

[whoissajidd]

We were created by god a seperate country, geographicaly

[jibreel_]

Even kashmiri mountains are also patthar baz 😂🤣

[bfa]

When all the mountain came down...that was scary.

India's military operations in Kashmir valley in 1947-1948 owe their logistical facilitation to then derelict road between Jammu and Srinagar which came to India after the Accession of the Riyasat of Jammu and Kashmir.This narrow road had wooden bridges etc and was used only twice a year during the biannual shifting of Riyasat's capital between Jammu and Srinagar .The Maharajas of J and K wished avoiding the main highway passing through the territory of the British .for the sake of privacy and hence had got built a simple though dangerously passing across the formidable Pir Panjal mountains . This road was used nearly only twice a year nearly exclusively for carrying Darbar shifting specific traffic. Just before the convoys moved on this road it was repaired in a makeshift manner . Before 1947 the main highway connecting Jammu and Srinagar ran through Sialkot and Muzzafarabad - the Jhelum Road -then under British India's direct control.After Partition of India this went to Pakistan .. In fact during the time delay in Maharaja Hari Singh's decision on Accession of J and K, Pakistan's military and political leaders would arrogantly boast that Kashmir was in Pakistan's pocket as for even ' one can of kerosene ' the Valley depended on the Sialkot Highway which Pakistan had under her control..Maharaja's special purpose Darbar shifting road which was first used for Indian Army's logistical support to the Valley and connectivity to Ladakh - through the Zoji La Pass .In its constantly upgraded form this erstwhile simple / rudimentary road is, now, India's main and world standard Highway to Kashmir.
