LIFE REMAINS CRIPPLED IN KASHMIR DUE TO SNOW, COLD CONDITIONS
Srinagar, Jan 17 (Only Kashmir): Life remained affected in the Kashmir valley, including Srinagar, the summer capital of the state, where people are facing acute shortage of water, because of frozen taps, and cooking gas, with slippery road conditions adding to their woes.
Life was thrown out of gear after the first heavy snowfall on January 7 which snapped electricity for about a 4 days after all transmission lines, importing power to Kashmir, were damaged at several places in Pirpanchal and Ramban areas.
However, after three days the power supply was partially restored to main towns while the far-flung areas continued to face darkness.
The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway is also blocked, resulting in shortage of essentials, particularly LPG gas cylinders. Internet service is also effected.
