Impact & Risks

The snowfall has primarily affected the higher-altitude regions of Kashmir, including popular tourist destinations like Pahalgam, Gulmarg, and Sonamarg. While the snowfall enhances the scenic beauty of these areas, it may also lead to disruptions in transportation and daily activities, particularly in regions like Zojilla Axis and Razdan Top. The overnight rains in the plains could result in waterlogging in low-lying areas, potentially causing inconvenience to residents and travellers.
