As the entire Jammu and Kashmir has been receiving continuous spell of snowfall, the district administration of Doda on Sunday issued an advisory and has suggested people not to wander near avalanche-prone areas.

The people of Doda and Kishtwar districts woke up to a thick blanket of snow.

The snowfall has left the life paralysed in these districts with most of the link roads getting blocked due to the heavy snowfall.

"This is a precautionary measure because there has been continuous snowfall in the state. The people across the district are advised not to wander near avalanche-prone areas. We have also informed the authorities to be ready for standby operation and keep the machinery on alert," District Development Commissioner of Doda Dr Diford Sagar said.

"We had received some complaint about the houses being collapsed for which we have provided the necessities. There is lot of disruption with the electricity here for which we have taken some precautions as well," he added.

Further in case of any emergency public is advised to contact DC office control room 24*7 on toll-free numbers 18001807122 and 9906320997 for help.
