Fresh snowfall in Srinagar has been causing significant disruptions, with waterlogging becoming a major issue in many areas. After heavy snow accumulation, the city's drainage systems often can't handle the sudden influx of water when the snow starts melting, leading to flooding in low-lying regions. This creates difficulties for commuters, especially in areas like Lal Chowk, Dalgate, and other key parts of the city.
Many roads become submerged, slowing down traffic and causing long delays. The situation is exacerbated by the ongoing cold temperatures, making it hard for water to drain away efficiently. To address the problem, the Srinagar Municipal Corporation has been working to clear snow and pump out excess water, but despite their efforts, waterlogging remains a persistent issue during heavy snow and rain.
Commuters and residents face hardships, with roads becoming impassable and the general public experiencing inconvenience. Local authorities have urged people to stay updated on weather advisories, and there are calls for better long-term solutions to the city's drainage problems.
