ANCHO R:As predicted by the Meteorological Department, weather conditions turned active across the Chenab Valley, bringing fresh spells of snowfall in higher reaches and rainfall in the plains. The change in weather has led to a drop in temperature across the region. VO:Following the forecast, several parts of the Chenab Valley witnessed widespread rainfall, while higher reaches received fresh snowfall. Plains including Bhaderwah, Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban experienced steady rains, bringing relief after a dry spell but also causing a dip in day temperatures. Meanwhile, the higher reaches of Bhaderwah and Kishtwar witnessed brief spells of fresh snowfall, adding a fresh white layer over the mountainous terrain. The changing weather conditions have once again intensified cold conditions, especially in upper areas, while normal life in the plains remained largely unaffected. Authorities have advised people, especially those traveling towards higher reaches, to remain cautious due to slippery roads and fluctuating weather conditions. The fresh spell of snowfall in higher reaches and rainfall in plains has not only brought down the temperature but also enhanced the scenic beauty of the Chenab Valley. However, authorities continue to monitor the situation and advise caution for commuters. Meanwhile people associated with Agriculture and Horticulture are happy with rains.
