Chief Minister Omar Abdullah embarked on an unexpected road trip from Srinagar to Jammu after his scheduled flight was canceled due to poor visibility at the Jammu airport. Eleven flights were scrapped on Sunday, with another canceled due to technical malfunctions.

"With nothing taking off or landing in Jammu yesterday, I had to set off on a road journey to the winter capital," Abdullah shared on X, posting videos of his convoy traveling. By Monday, flight operations resumed as scheduled.

In a subsequent post, Abdullah commented on the ongoing poor visibility, suggesting potential continued disruptions. His visit to the civil secretariat marked his first since assuming office on October 16, receiving a warm welcome from the staff.
