North-West India is experiencing a severe weather event with snowfall in hilly areas and rain in the plains, which is expected to continue for the next two days, affecting Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh are forecasted to be mainly dry from the 7th of this month. Road and air traffic have been disrupted by the weather conditions, with snowfall in Kashmir leading to a landslide in Jammu and an avalanche warning for the hills. IMD senior scientist Dr. Naresh Kumar stated that the Himalayan region is experiencing light to heavy snowfall, with the Western disturbances currently lying above North Pakistan. Uttarakhand's Auli and Manali in Himachal Pradesh have received fresh snowfall, with snow clearance work underway at Manali-Leh Road. The Sonamarg Road in Jammu & Kashmir has been reopened after temporary closure due to minor avalanches. The Chowkibal-Tangdar Road has also been reopened after a four-day closure due to around five feet of snow at Sadhna Pass, while the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway is set to remain closed for 24 hours for repair work. Meanwhile, Delhi-NCR is witnessing clear skies, but the cold wave persists in the region.
