Ganderbal, July 23: The Sonamarg Development Authority (SDA) on Thursday issued an advisory for tourists and the general public, announcing the complete closure of movement towards the Thajiwas area in Sonamarg for the next two days in view of prevailing inclement weather conditions and incessant rainfall in the region.
The Sonamarg Development Authority has advised all tourists, visitors and local residents to refrain from travelling towards the Thajiwas area during the closure period and to strictly adhere to instructions issued by the administration and other concerned agencies.
Officials said that weather conditions across Sonamarg and adjoining areas continue to remain unstable due to persistent rains over the past several days, resulting in an increased possibility of landslides and sudden water level rises in streams and nallahs.
The administration has urged tourists planning to visit Sonamarg to remain updated with official advisories and avoid venturing into vulnerable areas during adverse weather conditions.
The Sonamarg Development Authority stated that further decisions regarding reopening of the Thajiwas area will be taken after a review of weather conditions and ground reports over the coming days.
