Fresh snowfall affected the air traffic to and from the Kashmir Valley. Accumulation of snow on the runway hampered flight operations, delaying several flights. The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway remained closed for traffic for the seventh day on Saturday due to the accumulation of snow, landslides, and shooting stones. The officials said stranded traffic was allowed to pass on Friday with no fresh vehicle movement.

The MeT office said the minimum temperature went down across the Valley. Srinagar city recorded a low of minus 4.0 degree Celsius, down from minus 0.4 degree Celsius the previous night.
