Jammu, Feb. 27 -- On Saturday morning, vehicular traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar highway was halted after heavy overnight rains in the Banihal region of the Ramban district caused shooting stones and landslides, authorities said.

The landslides took place on the highway in Banihal area early this morning after rains intensified from around 3 am in the area prompting authorities to shut the highway for vehicular traffic.
