Authorities have issued a low-danger avalanche warning for five districts in Jammu and Kashmir—Doda, Poonch, Ramban, Kishtwar, and Ganderbal—following recent heavy snowfall in higher reaches. Residents in these areas are advised to avoid avalanche-prone zones. The India Meteorological Department forecasts continued cloudy weather with potential light snow and rain through December 29, with New Year's period also seeing possible light snow and rain. This snowfall is expected to boost tourism, particularly in Gulmarg and Pahalgam, with hotels reporting increased bookings.
