Srinagar, April 21 -- Despite assurances from authorities about sufficient stocks of petrol and diesel in Kashmir to last for 17 days, the closure of the Jammu-Srinagar highway resulted in motorists mobbing various filling stations on Monday to fill the tanks of their vehicles.
Due to the washing away of a large portion of the national highway in Ramban district on Sunday, wild rumours are doing the rounds in the Valley about the restoration of the highway.
Traffic department officials advised travellers not to undertake the journey on the Srinagar-Jammu highway today as restoration work was going on at the washed away stretch of the highway.
Rumours doing the rounds in the Valley said the restoration could take around 10 days.
