SRINAGAR, Sept 1: One-way traffic was restored on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway after remaining suspended since early this morning due to landslides, triggered by overnight rain. However, only vehicles, stranded at different places on the highway will be allowed to ply and no fresh vehicle will be allowed from any side, a traffic police official told .
