Jammu, March 5 (IANS) The strategic Jammu-Srinagar national highway remained closed for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday.
"Jammu-Srinagar highway remained closed today also due to multiple landslides triggered by incessant rain and snowfall on the road," a senior police officer told IANS in winter capital Jammu on Thursday.
