Srinagar:The Jammu-Srinagar highway, the only surface link connecting Kashmir valley with the outside world, remained closed while several flights to and fro Srinagar airport were delayed for second straight day on Sunday following fresh snowfall in valley.
Official sources told GNS that the highway was closed at around Saturday noon due to snow accumulation around the Jawahar Tunnel and landslide at Magerkot.
They said that clearance work is going on and stranded traffic would be allowed once the road is cleared.
Meanwhile, authorities at Srinagar airport said that the runway will be ready for flight operation at 12:00 noon today. “Some flights may delay but definitely flight movement will start soon,” they added.
