“We were expecting snowfall since morning as the city was covered with clouds,” said Shahryar, who was enjoying the weather along with his children at Hanna Urak Valley.
Snowfall and rain coupled with cold winds have rapidly decreased the temperature to below zero degrees, forcing citizens to wear warm clothes.
Many citizens faced low gas pressure, while others had none.
“There is no gas in our homes. We are forced to buy wood and gas cylinders to warm our children in this freezing weather,” said Zafarullah, who works at a private shop, while buying woods.
The Meteorological Department has predicted more snowfall and rain in the western parts of the province.
