He said air sorties to airlift passengers between Kargil with Srinagar and Jammu on Tuesday were cancelled due to bad weather. Last week more than 1100 passengers were airlifted between UT Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir and Chandigarh.
Air sorties are being operated between UT Ladakh and Jammu and Srinagar as the Srinagar-Leh national highway remained closed due to accumulation of snow and avalanche since January Ist, 2021. However, massive snow clearance operation was going on to put through the highway, connecting UT Ladakh with Kashmir. |
