Srinagar (NVI): Flight operations at Srinagar Airport resumed today after remaining suspended for seven days because of fog and heavy snowfall, officials said.

The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, which links the Kashmir valley with rest of the country, however, remained closed for the vehicular movement due to snowfall in Jawahar Tunnel area, official said.

The snowfall has led to sharp drop in the temperature across Kashmir.

The higher reaches of Jammu & Kashmir, including the famous ski resort of Gulmarg, received heavy snowfall.

The weather department has issued an ‘orange’ warning for the Union Territory, forecasting moderate to heavy snowfall and rain in the UT.
