Occupied Kashmir receives 10 feet snow in 24 hours
Pakistan Times Kashmir Desk

SRINAGAR: Thousands of travelers were trapped Saturday along a stretch of mountainous highway in Indian occupied Kashmir, as more than three meters (10 feet) of snow fell in 24 hours, blocking roads, breaking power lines and halting phone services across much of the Himalayan region, authorities said.

Ten highway workers trying to clear the road were swept away when an avalanche of snow poured over them, said Rauf-ul-Hafan, the highway superintendent for the traffic police, but six were rescued. Authorities were searching for the others.

He said about 4,000 people were believed to be trapped between the villages of Banihal, about 100 kms (60 miles) south of Srinagar, and Ramban, about 50 kilometers further south, he said.

Most are believed to have taken shelter in villages along the highway, which is prone to avalanches. With heavy snow still falling, and meteorologists predicting it would continue until at least Sunday, it was not clear when the travelers would be rescued.
