In Jammu and Kashmir, vehicular traffic was restored on the 270 kilometers long strategic Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH44) today after clearing landslides that blocked road connectivity in Ramban district for a day. The traffic was restored on the highway this morning following clearance of landslides.
Passenger vehicles are now allowed to ply from both directions-Jammu to Srinagar and vice versa on the national highway. The vehicular movement was stopped on the national highway yesterday as landslides and shooting stones blocked both roads between Karol Bridge and Chanderkote.
J&K Launches 44 Online Transport Services For Citizens Under E-Transport Mission Mode Project
Jammu and Kashmir has rolled out 44 online transport-related services under the e-Transport Mission Mode Project, aimed at improving efficiency and ensuring hassle-free access to services for the public. The Union Territory is providing 20 services under Vahan and 24 services under Sarathi, enabling citizens to avail key transport facilities through digital platforms.
The initiative focuses on delivering faceless and contactless services, including vehicle registration, issuance of driving licences, tax payments and permit-related services, thereby reducing the need for physical visits to Regional Transport Offices (RTOs).
With integration of advanced technologies such as Aadhaar-based authentication, e-KYC, digital signatures and AI-based facial recognition, the system is expected to enhance transparency and streamline service delivery across Jammu and Kashmir. The move is also aimed at promoting ease of living by ensuring better accessibility of transport services to citizens across the Union Territory.
