In Jammu & Kashmir, recent snowfall has led to the temporary closure of several key roads, impacting connectivity in the region. The Mughal Road, a vital link between South Kashmir and the Rajouri and Poonch districts of the Pir Panjal region, as well as the Bandipora-Gurez road, have been closed to vehicular traffic due to fresh snow in higher areas. Additionally, the Sonamarg-Kargil national highway is shut following the snowfall in Sonamarg. Despite these disruptions, the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway remains operational from both directions.
Commuters are advised to adhere to traffic regulations while using the highways that are open. Authorities are actively working to clear snow from the closed roads, with efforts contingent on improved weather conditions.
Higher reaches throughout Jammu & Kashmir have seen light to moderate snowfall, leading to a drop in day temperatures across the Kashmir Valley. Light rain in Srinagar and surrounding regions has further contributed to the chilly conditions. However, relief may be in sight as the Meteorological Centre in Srinagar forecasts dry weather for the next three days.
This weather update underscores the dynamic nature of the region’s climate and the ongoing efforts by local authorities to manage the impact on transportation and daily life. Residents and travelers are encouraged to stay informed and exercise caution during travel.
