The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a warning of widespread rain and snowfall across Jammu and Kashmir in the coming days.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather outlook indicating that large parts of Jammu and Kashmir will experience significant rainfall and snowfall over the next few days. The forecast covers both the valley regions and the higher altitude areas, where snow accumulation is expected to be heavier.
Authorities have warned that the combined rain and snow could lead to waterlogging in low‑lying towns, reduced visibility on mountain roads, and an increased risk of landslides in vulnerable zones. Transport services, especially in remote hill stations, may face disruptions.
The IMD advises residents to stay updated with local bulletins, avoid unnecessary travel in affected areas, and take precautionary measures such as clearing drainage channels and keeping emergency supplies ready.
