Ramban, February 28, 2025 – A breathtaking wave of fresh snowfall has swept across the higher reaches of Ramban District in Jammu & Kashmir, turning the rugged peaks into a stunning white paradise. From Banihal to Gool, the snow has draped the landscape, captivating locals and travelers alike on Friday.
The heavy snowfall, piling up to two feet in some areas like Mahu village, comes as part of a broader weather system bringing snow and rain to the region. Posts on X from Gulistan News TV and PTI News highlight visuals of thick snow coating trees and homes, with Banihal emerging as a focal point of this wintry spectacle. The beauty is undeniable, but it’s not without challenges—road closures have hit hard, stranding vehicles and prompting calls for safety measures.
Authorities report that the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, a key artery, faced disruptions due to snow and earlier rain-induced incidents, though efforts are underway to clear paths. The snowfall follows a pattern seen across Kashmir this week, with higher areas like Anantnag and tourist spots like Gulmarg also blanketed in white.
For Ramban’s residents, the snow is a mixed blessing—gorgeous to behold, yet slowing daily life. With more weather shifts possible, officials urge caution as this breathtaking display keeps the district in winter’s grip. Stay tuned for updates as Ramban shines under its snowy crown!
