Srinagar, March 6 (IANS) Jammu and Kashmir is likely to receive more rain and snowfall in the next 24 hours even as the Jammu-Srinagar highway remained closed for the 5th day on Friday.
The strategic Jammu-Srinagar highway is likely to be opened for one-way traffic tomorrow, authorities told IANS here.
The over 300-km long highway which connects the landlocked Valley with Jammu and the rest of the country was closed on Monday after incessant rains and snowfall triggered landslides at various places along the route.

"The Border Roads Organisation has cleared most of the area along the highway. They are now clearing the road in Ramban area. If weather permits, the highway will be thrown open by this evening and vehicles will be allowed to move from Jammu to Srinagar tomorrow," an official said.
