Heavy snow shuts key travel routes in Kupwara and Bandipora
Srinagar: The first snowfall of the season has transformed Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir into a winter wonderland, enhancing scenic destinations like Gulmarg and Sonamarg for visitors.
According to Kashmir Media Service, snow blanketing the higher-altitude areas in Kupwara and Bandipora has disrupted key travel routes.
The snowfall continued intermittently, leading to temporary closures on the Srinagar-Leh highway and other high-altitude roads. Mughal Road and Sinthan Top remain closed due to snow accumulation.
The Meteorological Department forecasts dry weather, with light snowfall expected in higher regions from November 14-16. Travelers heading to higher elevations are advised to check road conditions in advance.
