Authorities in Jammu have ordered the closure of the Main Tawi Bridge at Bikram Chowk for vehicular movement, citing rising water levels in the river and increasing flood risks. The step has been taken purely as a precautionary measure to safeguard lives and prevent accidents in case the situation worsens. The District Administration has advised citizens to strictly avoid the route and follow traffic advisories. Emergency services are on standby, and commuters are being diverted to alternate roads. Officials have urged people to remain calm, stay away from riverbanks, and cooperate with authorities as continuous rainfall adds to the challenges. Safety remains the administration’s top priority during this developing situation.
