Fresh snowfall in Kashmir, flights from Srinagar airport delayed

Srinagar: Fresh snowfall in most parts of Kashmir disrupted flight operations at the airport here, officials said on Saturday. There was fresh snowfall in the higher reaches as well as the plains, including in the summer capital Srinagar here, on Friday night, a meteorological department official said.

He said while there was light snowfall in the plains of Kashmir, the higher reaches received moderate snow. The snowfall led to the cancellation of flights and delays at the Srinagar airport.
