**Flight Diversions Spark Outrage from Jammu and Kashmir CM**
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed his frustration on social media after his flight to Delhi was diverted to Jaipur late Saturday night. Abdullah shared a selfie from Jaipur Airport at 1 AM, criticizing the Delhi airport’s operations. He stated, “Delhi airport is a bloody shit show (excuse my French, but I’m in no mood to be polite). After three hours in the air from Jammu, we were diverted to Jaipur, and now I’m left wondering when we will leave.”
The diversion came amid significant disruptions in air travel due to inclement weather affecting the region. On the same day, six flights were canceled at Srinagar Airport, and many passengers faced chaos at Jammu Airport, where numerous flights were delayed or canceled, leaving hundreds stranded.
As travelers shared their experiences, IndiGo Airlines reassured customers via social media that their teams were monitoring the situation and would restore smooth operations as soon as weather conditions improved. The Valley experienced moderate to heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours, with some areas even facing hailstorms, severely impacting flight operations.
In summary, the combination of adverse weather and operational challenges at airports has led to significant travel disruptions in Jammu and Kashmir, prompting strong reactions from officials and passengers alike.
