The chill in the air has intensified as Shangla experienced heavy rainfall on Sunday after a two-day break.
Light snowfall was also recorded on the mountain peaks and highlands.
Rain began on Sunday morning in the city and surrounding villages, bringing freezing cold winds that gripped the entire valley. Meanwhile, the upper mountain ranges and highlands received light snowfall, leading to a significant drop in temperature.
The Meteorological Department has predicted that intermittent rain and snowfall will continue in the coming days.
After the light snowfall, the mountains surrounding the valley were blanketed in white, creating picturesque views that tourists thoroughly enjoyed.
It is worth noting that due to a severe drought and lack of snowfall this winter, water shortages had started to emerge in upper regions like Shangla.
However, last week's torrential rainfall has significantly alleviated the water shortage.
Experts warn that hill stations like Shangla could face challenges due to insufficient snowfall, posing a serious risk to the livelihoods of the local population.
