After a worrying dry winter, North India woke up to a blanket of snow today. Shimla, Manali, and higher reaches are covered in white, bringing immense joy to tourists and, more importantly, to the state’s farmers. PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh shared mesmerizing visuals from his residence, Holly Lodge, marking the arrival of the “White Gift.”
The long dry spell in Himachal Pradesh seems to be ending as fresh snowfall hits the high peaks. While Rohtang and Baralacha turned white, Shimla witnessed overcast skies throughout the day.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a severe cold wave alert for Northern and Central India, forecasting a sharp drop in temperatures over the next two days. Residents are advised to brace for chilly conditions and take necessary precautions.
