In Jammu & Kashmir, a feeble western disturbance is underway in Kashmir till tomorrow with the possibility of light snow at scattered places.
The MeT department predicted that there is a chance of snowfall at most places, with peak activity from January 4 to 6, adding that there is a possibility of heavy snowfall at a few places in the higher reaches during the second spell.
Kashmir is reeling under the grip of harshest winter period of 40 day ‘Chillai-Kalan’. The snowfall during this period proves a boon as snow accumulates in the mountain ridges that melts in summer thereby meeting water requirements.
The heavy snowfall brings difficulties for people in Srinagar city, towns and far flung areas including disruption in surface and air connectivity. It also leads to disruption in power and water supply, blockage of roads, lanes and interior areas across Kashmir region.
Meanwhile, the Administration is fully prepared at all levels for coping up with any kind of eventualities in view of expected snow spells in coming days.
