Though the season’s first snowfall is magnificent, it has disrupted the daily lives of people in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. From power supply to road connectivity, everything has left the already crippled life in Kashmir in disarray.

So, here are some pictures depicting the chaos in Jammu and Kashmir after a heavy spell of snowfall :

Due to road blockage, travelling from one place to another in time of emergencies got extremely difficult. This also left many people stranded.
