A few areas in the higher reaches of Kashmir received fresh snowfall, while rains lashed the plains on Thursday, officials said.

The famous ski resort of Gulmarg in north Kashmir’s Baramulla, Gurez in Bandipora, and a few other places received fresh snowfall overnight that continued till morning, they said.

They said most plains, including Srinagar, were lashed by moderate to heavy rains.

Owing to the heavy snowfall in Gurez, and the threat of avalanches, the authorities have ordered the closure of schools till March 15.

Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has forecast intermittent spells of light to moderate rain at most places and snow in higher reaches till Sunday morning. Thereafter, the weather is likely to improve, it added.

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).
