Army carried out rescue operations at multiple locations in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district to evacuate stranded vehicles in the wake of heavy snowfall in the region. Srinagar/Jammu: The dreamy, snow-clad Valley landscape was marred by severe disruption of traffic and air services on Tuesday with the closure of Jammu-Srinagar highway and cancellation of all flights at Srinagar airport in the wake of heavy snowfall in the region, interrupting emergency services and movement of armed forces, while rescue and road clearing operations raged on.
At Srinagar airport, all 58 scheduled flights, including 29 arrivals and 29 departures, were cancelled — leaving hundreds of tourists stranded. Authorities said continuous snowfall rendered the runway unsafe for operations.
