Gulmarg received the season’s first snowfall on Saturday, while rains lashed the plains, officials said.

The snowfall began early in the morning and continued intermittently, blanketing the meadows of the destination with about an inch of snow, they said.

Several other areas in the higher reaches of the valley, including Gurez in Bandipora district, Machil in Kupwara, Mughal Road in Shopian, and other locations, also recorded fresh snowfall, the officials added.

Meanwhile, many parts of the plains, including Srinagar, experienced rainfall, they said.

According to the Met office, the weather will remain generally dry from November 17 to 23 and on November 24, light rain or light snow is likely at isolated places in the higher reaches.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
