Unidentified speaker: 'The Entire Mountains Are Snow-Peaked' As North India Sees Heavy Snowfall

This report highlights the onset of the first major snowfall across Northern India, affecting hill towns like Shimla, Manali, Doda, and Uttarkashi. An Unidentified speaker notes, 'It's all snowfall and it's all snow over here and the entire mountains are snow-peaked, the ridge is full of snow and this is the situation out here, the temperatures are dipping, the temperatures run in the minus'. While the snow has attracted tourists from states like Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi, it has significantly disrupted daily life. The iconic Kalka-Shimla toy train was seen navigating through thick ice, and the Atal Tunnel remains under heavy snow. Severe weather conditions have led to traffic jams and skidding vehicles, prompting police to remain on high alert. Despite the challenges of freezing cold and blocked roads, the winter spell has brought a sense of joy to visitors across the northern hill regions.
