The valley witnessed more than 1.25 feet snow at Qazigund in Anantnag district. The road clearance work is going on, said Coordinator in the Natural Disaster Management Cell Aamir Ali.
The state authorities have announced that all the schools will remain closed for winter vacation to avoid inconvenience to the students. However, it was announced earlier that schools will be opened for classes IX, X, XI and XII during winter.
The valley is also facing power disruptions and telephone disconnections due to heavy snowfall. The intense cold wave that put the temperature minus degrees Celsius in many part of the valley, has hampered the tourism department too.
