Snowfall, avalanches grip Zojila Pass and Gurez Valley; schools shut, travel alerts issued

In Tulail Valley, part of the scenic Gurez region, continuous snowfall since morning has piled up 3 to 4 inches of fresh snow, with accumulation ongoing. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) suspended classes for students up to 8th grade amid the heavy downpour. A minor "channelised" avalanche struck a mountain gully in the valley but stayed confined, sparing the valley floor, Kishanganga River, and any lives or property.
