The Jammu–Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) has not been fully restored at Tharad, Udhampur, causing very slow movement due to single-lane traffic and breakdown of multiple heavy motor vehicles (HMVs). Movement of goods carriers carrying perishables and livestock is advised only after checking the latest updates from the Traffic Police Headquarters due to poor road conditions and ongoing congestion caused by nomadic flocks.

As per the advisory, LMVs from Nagrota (Jammu) will be allowed to move towards Srinagar between 0700 hrs and 1000 hrs, while no LMV traffic will be allowed from Srinagar to Jammu during that time. HMVs will be allowed from NAVYUG Tunnel (Qazigund side) towards Jammu only after the HMV tail crosses Kishtwar Pather.

Mughal Road remains open for LMVs from both Srinagar and Jammu sides, while Kishtwar–Sinthan–Anantnag Road (NH-244) continues to remain closed due to fresh snowfall.
