Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], February 23 (ANI): Continuous snowfall in Kashmir has led to the delay in flights at Srinagar airport and reduced the visibility to 400m in the area.

Our snow clearing operations are in continuous progress on the runway and the apron. However, the visibility is only 400m,” the officials said.
