Tourists Told to Leave Gurez by November 10 as Heavy Snowfall Threatens Road Connectivity
Bandipora, Nov 10, KNT: Tourists currently visiting Gurez Valley have been advised to leave the area by Tuesday, November 10, in view of a forecast of heavy snowfall from November 11 and the possibility of road blockages that could leave visitors stranded.
Bandipora Police issued a general travel advisory, urging tourists to plan their departure immediately and avoid undertaking fresh journeys to Gurez in anticipation of adverse weather conditions.
The advisory also cautions that snowfall could disrupt road connectivity, making travel difficult and potentially cutting off the valley from other areas.
Police have specifically urged examination candidates, patients requiring regular medical care or consultations, guests travelling for scheduled weddings and other urgent events, and individuals having time-bound official duties outside the Sub-Division to take the warning seriously and plan their movements accordingly.
Tourists have been advised to plan their journeys well in advance, preferably travel during daylight hours, avoid unnecessary movement and follow official weather and road advisories issued by the concerned authorities.
They have also been asked to remain in coordination with local police and the administration for updates on road conditions. [KNT]
