Jammu- Traffic restrictions will come into effect across Jammu and Kashmir's Jammu city from July 2, a day before the commencement of the annual Amarnath Yatra, to ensure the smooth movement of pilgrim convoys.
According to officials, the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra (SANJY-2026) will begin on July 3, while the first convoy of pilgrims will leave Yatri Niwas, Bhagwati Nagar on July 2.
The Baltal-bound convoy will depart at 4 a.m., followed by the Pahalgam-bound convoy at 4:15 a.m.
Traffic police have announced that no civilian traffic will be permitted on several major routes from 3:45 a.m. until the last vehicle of the Pahalgam convoy passes through.
The restricted routes include Canal Head towards Shri Banda Bahadur Chowk and Bhagwati Nagar; R&B Bridge Belicharana towards the 4th Tawi Bridge; the flyover take-off near GCW Gandhi Nagar towards Asia Crossing and Bikram Chowk; Panama Chowk towards Hotel Asia via the Fire and Emergency Services Directorate; PHQ towards Bikram Chowk through Jammu University; Ware House towards Bikram Chowk; and B.C. Road from the Bus Stand to Manda. Several connecting roads, including those from Indira Chowk, Maheshpora Chowk, Vigilance Rotary, Sarwal, Subash Nagar, Exchange Road, Amphalla Jail Road and Janipur Road, will also remain affected.
To regulate traffic during the pilgrimage, the Traffic Police will establish cut-off points on National Highway 44 at Nagwal/Palli Morh, Kunjwani Chowk, Bajalta Cut, Sidhra Cut, Atal Chowk and TCP Nagrota.
During the yatra period, heavy motor vehicles (HMVs) will not be allowed beyond these points after 10 p.m., while light motor vehicles (LMVs) will be restricted after midnight.
The 57-day pilgrimage will conclude on August 28.
Meanwhile, authorities have declared both the Pahalgam route in south Kashmir and the Baltal route in north Kashmir as no-fly zones. As a result, helicopter services for pilgrims will not be available during this year's yatra.
