Season's First Snowfall and Heavy Rain Prompt Weather Alerts in Himachal and Uttarakhand
The higher regions of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand experienced the season's first snowfall, notably in Kinnaur and Hemkund Sahib, accompanied by rainfall in lower areas. This weather led to colder temperatures and prompted authorities to suspend the Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand until September 27. Weather alerts, including red, orange, and yellow warnings, were issued for heavy rain and thunderstorms across several districts. Schools were closed in affected areas, and officials advised caution and adherence to safety instructions amid ongoing pilgrimages and travel disruptions.
