Jammu, Feb 25: Traffic movement remained restricted on NH 1 connecting the Kashmir valley with the rest of the country due to inclement weather and bad road conditions. Though one way traffic is moving from Srinagar to Jammu the round trip remains grounded for now.  

The traffic condition remains unpredictable and this is impacting the flow of goods across the valley along with restricting the move of military and para military foces along the NH 1. 

Due to multiple landslides and snowfall, the strategic highway has remained close off and on during this winter causing inconvenience to travellers.Closures of the only road link that is used for carrying supplies to the landlocked Kashmir Valley often results in skyrocketing prices of essential commodities.
 
Air travel also became exceptionally costly between the valley and the rest of the country during periods the highway remained closed.
