The snowfall is likely to boost the tourism sector and attract more visitors, including international tourists, to the snow-covered landscape, according to a meteorological department.

The official said a feeble Western Disturbance would hit Kashmir on January 1-2. "It may cause light snow at scattered places. Another moderate WD would hit the Valley on January 3-6. It will cause light to moderate snowfall at many places and moderate to heavy snowfall at isolated upper reaches of Kashmir," he added.
