Snowfall brings Kashmir Valley to standstill

Moderate to heavy snowfall brought Kashmir Valley to a standstill as land and air links with the outside world as well as inter-district road connectivity remain suspended on Saturday. All flights to Srinagar international airport were cancelled on Friday in addition to road and rail links between the valley and the rest of the country. All inter-district roads remained disrupted throughout Friday, and no traffic moved on Saturday morning as well. Electric power supply throughout the valley was shut because of uprooting of poles and disruption in power supply grids. Even the high security Gupkar Road, where the official residences of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and some of her cabinet colleagues are situated, had no electricity because of massive power failure.
