Season's first snowfall in Kashmir

The season's first snowfall in Srinagar and in the major towns of the valley, like Badgam and Kupwara, brought cheer across the Kashmir Valley, and residents greeted relatives and friends Sunday morning. The 300-km-long Jammu-Srinagar national highway, the only surface link between Kashmir and rest of the country, has been closed for vehicular traffic due to snowfall and slippery conditions.
