Traffic Police Headquarters, J&K, Jammu/Srinagar: Traffic Plan & Advisory for 09‑11‑2025.
NH‑44 (Jammu–Srinagar): Between 07‑11‑2025, 1600 hrs and 08‑11‑2025, 1600 hrs, slow movement was observed due to single‑lane stretches at Bali Nalla, Dewal, Nashri–Dalwas, and between Marog and Kishtwari Pathar, along with movement of nomadic flocks between Marog and Kishtwari Pathar.
Passengers and LMV operators are advised to travel during daytime and avoid night travel due to HMV movement between Nashri Tunnel and NAVYUG Tunnel and ongoing nomad migration, which may inconvenience commuters.
All commuters must follow lane discipline; overtaking and wrong‑lane driving will cause congestion.
Subject to fair weather and better road conditions, LMVs (Passenger), HPSVs, Private Cars, and HMVs (goods carriers) shall be allowed from both sides on NH‑44 (Jammu ↔ Srinagar), with TCU Jammu/Srinagar coordinating with TCU Ramban on road status.
