Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Railways took to Twitter to share mesmerising photos of a snow-clad Srinagar Railway Station. Vaishnaw quoted a couplet written by Indo-Persian Sufi singer Amīr Khusrau while tweeting the images. The former IAS officer wrote, “If there is heaven on earth, it’s here, it’s here.”
In one of the three photos, snow-covered plants with Srinagar Railway station in the backdrop leaves viewers spellbound. In the other two photos, railway tracks are covered with snow, making people dubious if the tracks are actually white. The platforms and roofs above are covered with thick blankets of snow. Rendering the mood of snowfall, umpteen balls of snow are visible in the pictures.
