Srinagar: For the fourth consecutive day today, Kashmir remained cut-off as surface and air links between the Valley and rest of the country remained suspended due to snowfall.

The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway is still closed for traffic due to snowfall which has rendered the road slippery.

No vehicle has been allowed to ply today as well, an official of the Traffic Control Department told PTI.

He said efforts were on the make the nearly 300-km long highway – the only all weather road link between Kashmir and rest of the country – traffic worthy at the earliest and the heavy vehicles, stranded since the road was closed, have been shifted from high risk areas.

The air-traffic at Srinagar International Airport here has also not resumed yet because of the bad weather.

No flight operation has yet taken place today, an official at the airport said.
