News Topical, Digital Desk : The weather in Uttarakhand has once again taken a turn. The effects of the weather are clearly visible from the mountains to the plains. Dense fog in the plains has significantly reduced visibility, causing difficulties for people traveling during the morning and late night hours. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has issued an alert for rain and snowfall in five districts of the state.
According to the Meteorological Department, light to moderate rain is expected in Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Pithoragarh, and Nainital districts, with snowfall in higher elevations. The changing weather is expected to increase cold in mountainous areas, which could impact normal life.
Dense fog slows down vehicle speed
Dense fog in the plains this morning has slowed down traffic on the roads. Reduced visibility, especially on national highways and rural roads, has increased the risk of accidents. In many places, drivers are forced to drive with their headlights on.
The Meteorological Department has advised people to remain vigilant. Travelers in mountainous areas have been urged to consult the latest weather forecast before traveling. They have been advised to take necessary precautions in view of the possibility of road blockages in the event of snowfall.
District administration issued alert
District administrations are also on alert in anticipation of potential weather disturbances. Officials in the respective districts have been instructed to take precautions and prepare for any emergencies. The Disaster Management Department has also been asked to remain active to ensure prompt relief and rescue operations are carried out if necessary.
Weather experts say the cold in the mountains may intensify in the coming days, while fog is likely to persist in the plains. Therefore, people have been urged to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel.
