Early Times Report

Srinagar, Nov 24: The higher reaches of Kashmir valley experienced a fresh snowfall while some plains received rains resulting in closure of several strategic roads on Sunday, officials said.

The overnight snowfall covered the ski resort of Gulmarg in north Kashmir Baramulla district in a white blanket, much to the delight of the tourists staying there.
