Freezing temperatures in Kashmir

Freezing temperatures and no respite in cold conditions have raised worries and problems for the residents of Kashmir Valley. Even as more than half of the 40-day harshest winter period in Kashmir, known as 'Chillai-Kalan', has passed, weather in the Valley continues to remain dry and cold. The Meteorological Department has said in Srinagar there is a possibility of light rain or snowfall at isolated places in the state over the next 24 hours.
