Heavy snowfall grounds flights and shuts roads in Jammu & Kashmir
Srinagar just got its first big snow of the season, and it's already causing major headaches—Srinagar Airport has suspended all flights on Friday because of heavy snow and poor visibility.
Budgam, Pulwama, and Shopian woke up to thick blankets of snow, with weather experts saying this could last till Friday evening.
Why does this matter?
If you had travel plans in or out of J&K today, you're probably out of luck: 26 flights to places like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad have been canceled by airlines including IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet and more.
The Jammu-Srinagar highway is also closed, with road movement stopped at JakhChowk.
Airlines are telling passengers to expect delays or opt for rebooking or refunds—and definitely check your flight status before heading out.
