Heavy snowfall disrupts air & road connectivity in Kashmir

Helicopter and ropeway services were shut due to snowfall and bad weather conditions at the Vaishno Devi shrine in Reasi district, an official said.
In Kashmir, rains lashed the plains, while the higher reaches of the region witnessed fresh snowfall for the second day. The Jammu-Srinagar national highway -- the only all-weather road linking the Valley with rest of the country -- was closed after an avalanche blocked both tubes of the Jawahar Tunnel on the Qazigund side at 4.25 am, police said.
