district, including Tosamaidan, Dodhpathri, and Yousmarg, has also seen fresh snowfall. 

In north Kashmir’s Bandipora district, snowfall has caused the closure of the Bandipora-Gurez Road. In the frontier district of Kupwara, there are no reports of snowfall in the town as of the filing of this report. 

Meteorological officials said light rainfall is likely to occur over the plains of Jammu and light snow over the higher reaches of the Chenab Valley and Pir Panjal range in the Jammu Division.
