J&K cops brave the chill, practice unarmed combat in Bandipore amid snowfall The winters are here and air carriers will be faced with new challenges of low visibility and even snow blockage in parts of India. Jammu and Kashmir, like every year, is covered in a blanket of snow, which has resulted in closure of Srinagar-Jammu highway. This leaves commuters moving in and out the valley with only one choice – travel by air. As comforting as it sounds to have an alternate means of travel, it burns a deep hole in the pockets of those travelling from summer capital to other destinations and those coming home. This has now become an annual tradition, where air carriers are seen taking undue advantage of the situation in J&K.
