Srinagar, January 23

The air traffic to and from Kashmir was affected on Saturday in the wake of snow in most parts of the Valley, officials said.

The snow began early in the morning and was continuing when the reports last came in.

“No flight operations have taken place at the Srinagar airport so far this morning,” an official said.

He added that the runway at the airport was not available for flight operations due to the accumulation of snow.

“It is still snowing and hence it is difficult to clear the runway for flight operations,” the official said.

Several flights have been delayed due to the snow, officials said.

A decision on the resumption of flight operations would be taken as and when the weather improves, they added. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
