Flights from Srinagar cancelled

Srinagar: All flights, including a Saudi Arabia-bound Indian plane carrying Haj pilgrims, were cancelled on Monday due to poor visibility at the airport here while the Kashmir valley continued to reel under sub-zero temperatures.
A thick blanket of fog enveloped the airport till past noon, forcing cancellation of all out-bound and incoming flights, officials said.
A special Indian aircraft due to take Haj pilgrims to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia was postponed to Tuesday depending on weather conditions, they said adding that flights from Jammu, Delhi and Mumbai could not come to the airport.
The cold wave showed little signs of relenting as minimum temperatures stayed well below freezing point.
