"The famous hill resort of Gulmarg, 55 km from here in North Kashmir, was all covered up with snow. While two-and-a-half feet of snow had accumulated on the ground of the hill station, its peripheral areas, including Aferwath, Kangdoori and Khilanmarg, recorded over three feet snow.

Tangmarg-Gulmarg road, which was closed last evening for vehicular traffic due to heavy snowfall, reopened today as authorities cleared accumulated snow, an official spokesman said."
