The area in Ramban, Ramsoo and Banihal, on Srinagar-Jammu highway witnessed worst kind of traffic jam Thursday because hundreds of vehicles had been mobilized to receive the former bureaucrat. Sources said that Ronyal has decided to join politics and he is eyeing the coming state assembly elections. Runiyal visited his native area first time after his retirement. Rumours about Ronyal's joining politics were doing rounds since last one year and he used to visit his native area almost on every weekend and meet people.
