Srinagar, Aug 10 (UNI) One-way traffic on the national highway, the only road connecting Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh with Kashmir valley, resumed on Monday after remaining suspended due to flash floods triggered by heavy rains a day ago, official sources said.
Traffic on Srinagar-Leh national highway was suspended yesterday due to flash flood at village Kullan in Kangan in central Kashmir district of Ganderbal. Over half a dozen houses were damaged due to flash floods in the nearby nallah. The affected residents were shifted to safer places, they said adding there was no report of any loss of life or injury due to damage to the houses.
