Traffic suspended on Jammu-Srinagar Highway for Aircraft trial run.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has suspended traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway to conduct a trial run of an emergency landing strip in Bijbehara, South Kashmir. The 3.5-kilometre facility, completed last year, can be used by fighter planes and other aircraft in cases of war or natural disasters requiring mass mobilization of resources. The trial run is expected to involve Sukhoi fighter jets and Tejas light combat aircraft and will take place at night.
