The Neelam Valley is experiencing chilling temperatures as low as minus seventeen degrees in its upper regions. This bitter cold has not only frozen streams and springs but has also brought tourism to a standstill, with severe weather conditions prompting the suspension of tourist traffic.
The harsh winter has dealt a blow to businesses reliant on tourism in the Neelum Valley, as the extreme cold discourages visitors from venturing into the upper areas. The impact is evident as people associated with tourism face a significant downturn in their economic activities.
Adding to the challenges faced by the residents of Neelam district, electricity and internet services have been faltering for the past three months. The persistent issues have compounded the difficulties of the local population, further exacerbating the already harsh living conditions.
