Fresh snowfall in many areas of the higher reaches of Kashmir has led to the closure of two national highways, while rains lashed the plains of the valley.

The meteorological department today said that, under the influence of a western disturbance, the higher reaches, including Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonamarg-Zojila Axis, received light to moderate snowfall overnight. The fresh snowfall led to the closure of the Srinagar-Leh national Highway and the Bandipora-Gurez road.

The plains of the valley, including Srinagar city, were lashed by moderate widespread rains, which were intermittent at several places.

The overcast conditions led to a rise in the minimum temperatures across the valley.
