Srinagar | Nov, 11: Fresh snowfall in the higher reaches and rainfall across the plains marked the arrival of a new weather system in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, prompting the Meteorological Department to forecast widespread precipitation over the next two days.
Snowfall along Peer Ki Gali led to the temporary suspension of vehicular movement on the Mughal Road as a precautionary measure due to slippery conditions, officials said. Meteorological officials predicted moderate to heavy snowfall in the higher reaches of Kupwara, Bandipora, and Ganderbal from November 12 to 13, alongside expected daytime temperature drops of 6 to 8 degrees Celsius.
Authorities have issued advisories asking farmers to protect harvested crops and urging travellers to verify road status before traversing hilly terrains and high-altitude mountain passes, reports said.
