2/28/2024 11:00:07 PM

Early Times Report

Srinagar, Feb 28: Kashmir Valley is bracing for a major snowfall tomorrow that may disrupt surface and air transport, officials said on Wednesday.
The Meteorological Centre Srinagar has already issued an advisory in view of the forecast of heavy snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir, cautioning about the disruption of surface and air transport.
The weather will remain partly cloudy with light snow over isolated higher reaches on Wednesday.
The MeT centre said an active Western disturbance is most likely to affect J&K and adjoining areas from February 29 evening/night onwards and can cause widespread moderate rain/snow in Jammu and Kashmir night/early morning of March 1 and till the afternoon of March 3, with its peak activity on March 2.
“The above system is most likely to cause heavy to very heavy rain or snow over the Pirpanjal Range of Jammu Division and the middle and higher reaches of Kashmir Division, including Anantnag-Pahalgam, Kulgam, Sinthan Pass, Shupiyan-Pir Ki Gali, Sonamarg-Zojila, Bandipora-Razdan Pass, Gulmarg, and Kupwara-Sachna Pass,” it said.
The weather activity may lead to disruption of surface and air transport, including the Jammu-Srinagar national highway and other major roads in the middle and higher reaches of J&K.
People living in snow-bound areas have been asked to avoid venturing into sloppy and avalanche-prone areas.
There are chances of landslides, mudslides, and shooting stones, most likely over the vulnerable areas. Farmers have also been advised to withhold all farm operations during the first week of March, it added.
