Srinagar experienced its coldest night of the season, with temperatures dropping to minus 6 degrees Celsius, causing parts of Dal Lake and other water bodies to freeze. This intense cold wave affects the entire Kashmir valley, with other tourist destinations like Pahalgam and Gulmarg also recording sub-zero temperatures. While higher reaches have seen some snowfall, the plains remain dry, raising concerns about water resources as the harsh 'Chilla-i-Kalan' period continues.
