More than 20 people, including 15 army personnel, have died in avalanches since Wednesday caused by fresh snowfall across Jammu and Kashmir over the past four days. In Srinagar, police officials said bodies of four missing soldiers were recovered from avalanche-hit Gurez sector. The inclement weather in Gurez and Sonamarg had prevented the mortal remains of the martyrs from being airlifted to Srinagar.
