Flights resume at Srinagar airport after four days

With the improvement in weather conditions, flight operations resumed at Srinagar airport after four days on Thursday much to the relief of hundreds of stranded passengers.

“All facilities have been restored and flight operations have resumed after a heavy snowfall, it is the result of many agencies working proactively amid extreme weather,” an official at the airport said.

The flight operation at Srinagar airport, the only civilian airport in Kashmir, had remained disrupted for the last four days due to heavy snowfall and poor visibility.

However, the Srinagar-Jammu national highway, the only road link between Kashmir and the rest of the country, remained closed for the fifth consecutive day on Thursday due to accumulation of snow, landslides, and shooting stones at several places on the 270-km long highway.
