SRINAGAR: Due to poor weather, several flights at Srinagar International Airport have been cancelled, and officials indicated on Tuesday that the operation is probably going to be completely suspended. According to Javed Anjum, director of Srinagar International Airport, inclement weather has caused numerous aircraft cancellations; however, the precise figure of cancelled flights is unknown.
