Snowfall and rain cause temperature drop across Kashmir valley
Authorities have suspended traffic on the Mughal Road, Gurez Road and Zojila Pass due to slippery conditions and fresh snow.
Fresh snowfall in the higher reaches of Kashmir and overnight rain in the plains have caused a sharp decline in temperatures across the valley, according to WION.
The weather shift has led to the temporary suspension of vehicular movement on the Mughal Road, Gurez Road and Zojila Pass as a precautionary measure against slippery roads.
While the weather has disrupted travel, it has increased tourist activity in Gulmarg, with visitors frequenting Kongdori, Apharwat and the Gondola cable car rides.
The Meteorological Department stated that the current wet weather is expected to last until November 15.
The forecast suggests more snowfall in higher altitudes, including heavy spells in some locations, while the plains may see further rainfall.
The administration has advised residents and tourists to follow official weather and traffic advisories and avoid unnecessary travel to snowbound areas.
