Winter has started to reach its peak in Jammu and Kashmir. The temperature has now dropped to minus 4 degrees Celsius. Therefore, all the lakes, including the Dal Lake there, and other water bodies have started freezing. Only the Shopian district has recorded the coldest temperature. The temperature here is around minus 8.8 degrees Celsius. Due to this, the supply of drinking water is affected at night.
The water in the pipes supplying drinking water has started freezing, and the supply has been disrupted. People are stuck in their homes as night is coming very early. On the other hand, the roads are covered in ice, which has affected vehicle traffic. The question has arisen whether the ice on the road could be the cause of this accident. An investigation is currently underway into the accident.
In addition, military vehicles have been advised to drive with great care. The severe winter season will last for about 40 days in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the current announcement of the Meteorological Department, it has been reported that dry weather will prevail in Jammu and Kashmir till December 26. It is noteworthy that tourists are flocking in large numbers to see the frost and enjoy this atmosphere.
