A series of fire incidents, sharp decline in hydel power generation, intense cold conditions, and key academic announcements marked the past 24 hours across the Kashmir Valley.
🔥 Multiple Fire Incidents Reported Across Kashmir Valley
At least a dozen fire incidents were reported across various districts of Kashmir in the last 24 hours, keeping Fire and Emergency Services on high alert. The incidents occurred in areas including Kupwara, Anantnag, Budgam, Baramulla, and Srinagar, affecting residential houses, cowsheds, and forest areas. While no loss of life was reported, officials confirmed significant property damage in several cases. Authorities have urged residents to remain cautious, especially during winter when heating appliances and electrical overloads increase fire risks.
⚡ Hydel Power Generation Drops Sharply in Jammu & Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir witnessed a 77 percent drop in hydel power generation, raising concerns over electricity supply during the peak winter season. Officials attributed the decline to reduced water discharge in rivers and freezing conditions affecting power infrastructure. The Power Development Department has advised consumers to practice energy conservation, while alternative power arrangements are being explored to minimize disruptions amid rising heating demand.
🎓 University of Kashmir Announces Winter Break
The University of Kashmir has officially announced a winter break starting January 10, providing relief to students and staff amid severe cold conditions. University authorities stated that academic calendars will be adjusted accordingly to ensure syllabus completion. The decision has been welcomed by students, many of whom travel from distant districts and face transportation challenges during winter.
❄️ Cold Wave Continues as Night Temperatures Remain Below Freezing
Kashmir continues to reel under a harsh cold wave, with night temperatures dropping below freezing across most parts of the valley. Meteorological officials have forecast mostly dry weather, intensifying concerns for farmers and horticulturists due to lack of snowfall. The prolonged cold has also contributed to increased demand for electricity and heating fuels, adding pressure on already strained resources.
🏔️ Authorities Urge Caution Amid Winter Challenges
With fire incidents, power shortages, and extreme cold unfolding simultaneously, authorities have advised residents to take preventive safety measures, avoid unsafe heating practices, and remain informed through official advisories. Emergency services remain on standby as Kashmir navigates the toughest phase of winter.
