Avalanche Alert

GK NEWS NETWORK

Srinagar, Mar 31: After a fresh snowfall in the high altitude areas, authorities in Jammu and Kashmir Wednesday issued an avalanche warning for higher reaches in Kargil district.
The low danger warning was jointly issued by Disaster Management, Kashmir, and Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE) for higher reaches of Drass, Bhimbet, Kaksar and Handerbroke in the mountainous Kargil district in the frontier region of Ladakh.
The high altitude areas of Kashmir and Ladakh regions experienced fresh snowfall on March 29, while plains including Srinagar, were lashed by incessant rains, bringing down the temperatures to almost normal.
The change in the weather conditions, which also ended the nearly month-long dry spell, also came as a big relief for the farming community.  Meanwhile, Srinagar recorded a high of 19 degrees celsius and a low of 7 degrees celsius today.
 Jammu, on the other hand, reeled under hot conditions with a maximum of 34.4 degrees celsius and a minimum of 19.1 degrees celsius, a met office spokesman said.
