Vande Bharat glides through snow as Kashmir Valley witnesses fresh snowfall

The orange-and-grey Katra–Srinagar Vande Bharat Express was seen gliding smoothly across snow-covered tracks as fresh snowfall blanketed large parts of the Kashmir Valley, turning the region into a winter wonderland.

Snowfall was reported across Budgam, Baramulla, Kupwara, Shopian, Pulwama, Bandipora, Anantnag and Kulgam, while Srinagar city witnessed its first snow of the season on Friday. The harsh weather led to the closure of the Srinagar–Jammu National Highway and disrupted flight operations at Srinagar airport.
