Kashmir, Apr 4: Steady rainfall has continued across most districts of the Kashmir Valley, transforming the landscape into a lush green expanse and providing relief from recent dry spells. The ongoing showers have been particularly heavy in the southern districts, with Anantnag district emerging as a focal point of the weather activity.
Locals in Anantnag shared visuals of water‑filled paddy fields, swollen streams and verdant orchards, underscoring the beneficial impact of the rains on agriculture and groundwater recharge. The wet spell has boosted sowing operations and raised hopes for a good crop output this season, even as authorities monitor low‑lying areas for possible waterlogging and minor road disruptions.
Meteorological officials said light to moderate rains are expected to persist over the next 24–48 hours, with occasional breaks in the overcast sky. The department has advised farmers and residents to stay updated with local alerts, especially in hilly and vulnerable zones.
