Cold Wave Tightens Grip Over Kashmir valley And Pulwama

Kashmir reeled under cold conditions as the minimum temperature settled below the freezing point, even as a thick layer of fog engulfed most parts of the valley, officials said on Thursday.

The night temperature in Srinagar settled at a low of minus 4 degrees Celsius on Wednesday night, slightly up from minus 4.4 degrees

A thick blanket of fog wrapped Srinagar and other parts of the valley, especially areas around water bodies, they said.
