Jammu and Kashmir experienced intense snowfall over the past 24 hours, forcing the administration to close multiple roads, including key highways and inter-district routes. The heavy snowfall has disrupted transportation, leaving several regions cut off from essential services.
According to officials, road closures were implemented as a precautionary measure to prevent accidents caused by slippery conditions and reduced visibility. The Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, a critical link between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of the country, remains affected due to accumulated snow and landslides triggered by the harsh weather.
The Meteorological Department has predicted more snowfall in the coming days, urging residents to exercise caution while traveling. Authorities have deployed snow-clearing machines and personnel to restore road connectivity at the earliest. Meanwhile, power supply disruptions have been reported in some areas, with restoration work underway.
Local administration and disaster management teams are closely monitoring the situation, ensuring timely assistance to affected residents. Travelers have been advised to check weather updates before planning their journeys, as authorities work round the clock to minimize inconvenience and restore normalcy.
