Taps, pipelines freeze amid bone-chilling cold in IIOK
Srinagar: The bone-chilling cold gripping Srinagar and other parts of the occupied valley has disrupted daily life, freezing water taps and pipes across the city.
According to Kashmir Media Service, many residents in Srinagar and other parts of the valley are facing severe water shortages as the icy conditions persist.
The taps and water supply pipelines are freezing during the chilling winter, leaving them frustrated and causing water scarcity in many areas.
Manan Khan, a local from Lal Bazaar, said the taps in their house have been frozen, making it difficult to manage even basic chores. “This winter seems harsher than usual, and we are also facing water scarcity,” he said.
Similarly, the freezing temperatures have also disrupted water supply in several areas, leaving many households without access to running water. Locals have urged authorities to address the situation.
Meanwhile, the weather experts have issued a cold wave alert, warning of severe conditions in occupied Jammu and Kashmir over the next three days. Nighttime temperatures are expected to remain 4 to 8°C below the seasonal average.
