SRINAGAR — The weather department on Monday advised tourists to follow the advisory issued by the traffic police in view of the sub freezing temperatures and icy conditions over roads of important higher reaches in Kashmir.
Intense cold wave conditions persisted in the valley on Monday as minimum temperatures across the region remained several degrees below freezing point.
The sub-zero temperatures led to the freezing of water supply lines while a thin layer of ice covered the surface of several water bodies.
The meteorological department has predicted a dip of two to three degrees in minimum temperatures over the next 48 hours.
“In view of sub freezing temp and icy conditions over roads of important higher reaches, tourists/travellers are advised to follow advisory issued by the administration,” it added.
