MIRPUR ( AJK): Jan 6:  Following insufficient and poor arrangements, flight operations at  International Airport in occupied Srinagar were disrupted on Monday following continual heavy snowfall in the Indian Illegally occupied Kashmir valley, says a report reaching here on Monday from across the line of control.

According to the report, due snow clearance efforts could not be exercised on the runway before the scheduled coming and outgoing flights and resultantly all airlines have to reschedule their flights to operate after 9:30 am.

The occupied valley experienced a fresh spell of snowfall on Sunday, further impacting air travel. Operations at the airport were already affected over the weekend due to dense fog, which,  besides poor arrangements,  also  caused multiple flight delays, diversions, and cancellations, the report added.
