The snowfall and rain have created challenging conditions for travellers, particularly on mountain routes where fresh snow and wet roads could pose risks. Farmers and fruit growers have been advised to protect their harvested produce from rain and strong winds. Trekkers have been urged to avoid high-altitude expeditions until the weather improves. The tourism sector, however, has seen an uptick in activity as visitors flock to Gulmarg to enjoy the snow-covered scenery.
