 “Subject to fair weather and better road conditions, passenger Light Motor Vehicles (LMV) shall be allowed from Srinagar to Jammu in view of narrow and slippery conditions of the road at allowed.  No bus will be allowed. Traffic Control Unit at Jammu and Srinagar shall liaise with TCU Ramban before allowing the traffic,” traffic police tweeted.
