Heavy Snowfall Disrupts Kashmir and Manali

Heavy Snowfall Disrupts Kashmir and Manali

It has been snowing a lot in Kashmir and Manali, which has caused big problems.

In Kashmir, the main road between Srinagar and Jammu was closed for more than two days, and many cars and trucks are stuck on it.

The snow is making it hard for workers to clear the road, and it might take some more time to open it completely.

However, the airport in Srinagar is working fine, and flights are coming and going as usual.

The trains are also running on time.

In Manali, the roads are very crowded with tourists, and many people are stuck in their cars for more than 25 hours in very cold weather.

The snow is making it hard for everyone to move around.

Over 800 roads, including three national highways, remained closed for vehicular movement in Himachal Pradesh on Sunday following heavy snowfall even as unprecedented influx of tourists — looking for weekend getaway — led to kilomteres-long traffic bottlenecks, especially on way to Manali.

Several tourists parked their vehicles by the roadside and were seek trudging through the snow — many carrying the luggage on their heads.
