Heavy snowfall in Kashmir's Srinagar might dampen the celebratory spirit of the closing ceremony of Congress's pan-India foot march 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', scheduled for today. Congress is organising a mega rally at Sher-I-Kashmir Cricket Stadium to mark the end of 135-day long Kanyakumari to Kashmir yatra. Besides the entire Congress leadership, over a dozen leaders from opposition parties are expected to attend the rally. However, the snowfall has forced the closure of the Srinagar-Jammu national highway, and may disrupt air traffic as well. Many opposition leaders who were expected to arrive for the finale of the yatra, led by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, might not be able to make it.
