Neelum Valley, Khagan, Natiya Gali, Skardu and Gilgit-Baltistan received the first snowfall of this season on Thursday.
Thousands of tourists are leaving Islamabad to visit here, causing traffic jams in some towns of the valley. Traffic jams are not common here. Because on normal days the traffic is very less here. Schools and colleges have been closed due to fresh snowfall.
