Srinagar, Feb 4: Two days after two polish skiers were killed and 21 people including 19 foreigners were rescued, a fresh avalanche occurred in Affarwat Gulmarg on Saturday morning. So far, police said, there are no reports of any loss.

“Area has already been notified as a Red Zone and is restricted for any movement,” a police spokesperson said in a tweet. “Tourists are once again advised not to venture and cooperate with Police,” he added.
