Joshimath received fresh and heavy snowfall on Friday morning as per the predictions of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), even as residents of the region in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district struggle with the ongoing land subsidence crisis that has put normal life on hold.
A video shared on Twitter showed heavy snow pouring down on the region as cars and other vehicles parked on streets get covered by it.
The Met department has forecast rainfall and snow in Joshimath and other areas of Chamoli district, and Pithoragarh till January 24. It said that re-activation of Western Disturbance, which has also caused an increase in mercury in Delhi-NCR and its adjoining states and Union territories (UTs), will trigger a change in the weather pattern in Uttarakhand.
