Heavy snowfall in Kashmir; all flights cancelled
Heavy snowfall and thunderstorms hit Kashmir Valley marking early onset of winter as normal life was paralysed and all flights, including those scheduled to carry Haj pilgrims, cancelled on Friday.
A six-inch-thick blanket of snow covered Srinagar and other parts of the valley as the first snowfall of the season which is usually experienced in December continued overnight forcing closure of Srinagar-Leh National Highway for vehicular traffic for six months.
All nine flights, including two Air India flights scheduled to leave Srinagar for Jeddah, were cancelled due to inclement weather, leaving 300 pilgrims stranded.
Co-ordinator of the State's Disaster Management Cell Aamir Ali said that there was heavy snowfall in the entire Valley, including Gulmarg, which has witnessed two feet snow since Thursday.
"There has been snowfall in all parts, including Gurez, Karnah, Macchil, Anantnag, Pahalgam, Shopian, Kupwara and Kangan," Ali said.
There were no reports of any loss of life or major damage to property. However electric poles and trees were uprooted at many places, he said.
This is for the first time in four years that snowfall in the city has been witnessed as early as November. The usual time for snowfall in the city is late December or early January.
"All the district routes have been cleared but it has been snowing continuously, causing some problems," he said.
The early snowfall has been caused by unusual western disturbances over Kashmir, a MET official said.
Thunderstorms occurred at many places which was unusual for this time of the year.

Emirates airline spreading wings in India
he United Arab Emirates' (UAE) national airline Emirates is embarking on a major expansion drive in India this winter with the addition of 31 flights a week.
With this, the airline's reputation as the largest international carrier to operate in India will be reaffirmed as the number of weekly flights to 10 destinations in India will touch 163, the official Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.
"Owing to the liberalisation of the Indian skies and growing demand for air travel, Emirates is extending its presence in India," Salem Obaidalla, Dubai-based airline's senior vice-president for commercial operations in West Asia, Indian Ocean and Africa, was quoted as saying.
"Our winter expansion - the single largest growth in our operations - closely follows the extension of services in the summer of this year, and represents our commitment to the market and our confidence in its potential," he said.
The expansion will be implemented in a phased manner and the key cities of Mumbai and New Delhi will be the main beneficiaries.
Other important commercial hubs, including Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi, will also be served with additional flights.
"The additional frequencies have been timed to offer passengers more consistent schedules and seamless connections to onward points in Europe, the Americas, Africa and the Middle East," Obaidalla said.
The UAE is home to around 1.5 million expatriate Indians.
