Impact of the avalanche in Sonamarg
The impact of the avalanche that hit Sonamarg resulted in surrounding large parts of the valley with a snow sheet. This also led to the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway’s closure. It happened because of the heavy buildup of snow around the Navyug tunnel at Gazigund and Banihal.
The authorities reported no loss of life and said that because the runway couldn’t be safely used due to heavy snowfall, all the 58 flights had been cancelled at Srinagar International Airport.
