Yellow snow in Jammu and Kashmir
Jammu (HP) : The ‘yellow snow’ in Jammu and Kashmir has scared people. However, the Meteorological Department has blamed the dust storm coming from across the border. Yellow snow fell in some areas on Friday night. About 7-8 hours before this, the dusty winds blowing from parts of Central and Southern Afghanistan of Pakistan had reached North Kashmir, which mixed with snow and took the form of yellow snow. But the people of Kashmir are scared. Before this, there has been black snowfall here. This happened in the year 1991. Then it was said that all this happened because of the Gulf War.
