Keeping in view the over all condition of the road, especially between Jawahar Tunnel and Ramban coupled with narrow width of the NHW at some places, allowing two way movement of HMVs on the NHW is not feasible.
Therefore, subject to fair weather and good condition of the road, in order to facilitate the passengers and emergency vehicles, tomorrow on 01.04. 2018, movement of *passenger vehicles/LMVs on the NHW shall be allowed both ways* viz. from Jammu towards Srinagar and vice versa. However, the commuters are requested/advised that avoid travelling during night hours.
The movement of Load Carriers shall be one way only. Tomorrow on 01.04.2018 movement of these vehicles shall be allowed from Jammu towards Srinagar and shall be regulated from Udhampur itself.
Moreover, the commuters are advised to exhibit highest order of driving discipline on the NHW in general and while crossing Chenani-Nashri Tunnel in particular. They shall avoid overtaking, over speeding, doubling, especially inside the tunnel and adhere to the road signs and instructions/ Do’s and Don’ts displayed on either sides of the Tunnel for their safe crossing and hassle free movement of traffic inside the tunnel tubes.
No movement of load carriers and convoys of Army, BSF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB etc. shall be allowed from opposite side under any circumstances in order to ensure smooth flow of traffic on the NHW.
Commuters are requested/advised that vehicles are not parked in any landslide/ vulnerable zone of NHW, especially from Jawahar Tunnel – Ramban and Jawahar Tunnel-Lower Munda under any circumstances.
