Arteries in different parts of Azad Kashmir including Sargan, Neelam and Shonthar valley were left clogged because of snow and light rain that battered the region for one week.

The route connecting Leepa valley to Kashmir has also been choked. The temperature dropped to the lowest of this season so far to 6 degree Centigrade. While, the Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecasted that the nights of winter will be harsher in intensity all over Pakistan, especially in the northern parts.

Weather experts have prefigured harsh winter in the South Asia the following year.
