Patnitop Snowfall

Srinagar woke up to a mesmerising view of a city covered in a white blanket of snow on Saturday with the plains of the Kashmir Valley receiving the season's first snowfall, bringing hope and excitement among the local people and tourists alike.

After nightlong intermittent snowfall, the Kashmir Valley on Wednesday remained cut off from the rest of the country as road, rail and air traffic got disrupted. Strategic Srinagar-Jammu national highway has been closed due to heavy snowfall in Bannihal and Patnitop sectors of the over 300 km long road.

Patnitop, a hill station about 100 km from Jammu near Katra, had its first snowfall of the season and tourists are pleased.

Srinagar-Jammu national highway was closed on Thursday after fresh snowfall in Bannihal and Patnitop sectors of the over 300-kilometre long road in Jammu and Kashmir.
