Jammu and Kashmir has been receiving heavy and continuous snowfall in the Bannihal sector all of Monday, as a result of which the strategic Jammuu-Srinagar highway will remain closed on February 12. Accompanying the moderate to heavy snowfall, the plains also received rainfall, thus breaking a two-month-long dry spell. The weather office issued an advisory warning the people of snowfall and rains, but a quick look through social media shows that people seem to be enjoying the pristine white snow that has now blanketed the region.
