Snowfall in Kashmir

The Kashmir Valley received the season's heaviest snowfall on Saturday which threw normal life out of gear, affecting air, rail and road traffic as well as disrupting power and water supply, officials said. Chief minister Omar Abdullah reviewed the snow clearance operations in a video conference meeting with all deputy commissioners.

Moderate to heavy snowfall was recorded across Kashmir from Friday, including the season's first snowfall in Srinagar city and other plain areas.


In South Kashmir, heavy to very heavy snowfall was recorded in the plains, while central Kashmir's plains received moderate snowfall. The plains of North Kashmir received light to moderate snowfall, officials said.

The upper areas of the South Kashmir district received over two feet of snow, they added. Though the snowfall was welcomed by locals and tourists, it threw daily life out of gear.
