Srinagar: Flight operations in Kashmir resumed on Saturday after fresh snowfall cleared smoggy weather conditions that had brought air traffic to a halt in Srinagar for the past nine days. Inclement weather coupled with snowfall, however, forced authorities to keep the Srinagar-Jammu and Srinagar-Leh highways, and the historic Mughal Road closed.
Airports Authority of India (AAI) director, Srinagar, Santosh Dhoke said about 17 flights landed and took off from the airport on Saturday.
Meteorological department deputy director Mukhtar Ahmad said the higher reaches are likely to receive snowfall while the weather conditions will improve in the plains. "The weather in parts of Kashmir, especially in the plains, will remain partly cloudy, apart from occasional sunshine on Saturday," he said. The night temperature has increased by almost three degrees Celsius and will rise further on Saturday, following which it will plummet considerably, Ahmad said.
