Landslides triggered by rain on Thursday blocked the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.

Traffic department officials said incessant rains triggered landslides in Panthyal and Mehad stretches.

"The Amarnath Yatra convoys those left Jammu have been halted at Chanderkote. Travellers are advised not to undertake the journey before confirming the status of the highway from our control rooms in Jammu and Srinagar," a department official said.
