SRINAGAR — Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the  PIL challenging the Jammu and Kashmir government’s decision to partially close the highway for civilian traffic twice a week till May 31.

Sources told KNO that the apex court dismissed the PIL on Monday.

Government had ordered closure of highway for civilian vehicular movement twice a week i.e on Sundays and Wednesdays.
