- The Jammu and Kashmir administration has announced that it has decided to completely lift the restrictions on civilian traffic movement on the Srinagar-Baramulla stretch of the National Highway-44.
- However,the restrictions will continue to remain in force on the movement of civilian traffic from Udhampur to Srinagar.These would be reviewed periodically and relaxation would be made as the need for restriction reduces further.
- Earlier,Jammu and Kashmir administration and Centre had announced that the national highway from Baramulla to Udhampur will be restricted for civilian traffic on Sundays and Wednesdays till May 31.No civilian traffic would be allowed during the movement of the paramilitary forces.
- The ban on the civilian traffic was in force for the two days — Sunday and Wednesday — from 4 am to 5 pm.It was effective from Baramulla to Udhampur through Srinagar ,Qazigund, Jawahar-Tunnel, Banihal and Ramban.
- The government had cited the recent suicide bombing of a security forces convoy in Pulwama which killed 40 CRPF personnel as the reason for temporarily blocking part of the highway.Further,the decision was also made in view of the upcoming lok sabha elections.
