Climate Change In Kashmir Valley
Heaps of garbage are seen near the Brari-Nambal or Bab Demb water lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on February 18, 2025. Kashmir experiences a 79% rainfall deficit so far this year. Experts fear that the ongoing dry weather could negatively impact the region's horticulture sector, which is a primary contributor to its economy, lead to forest fires, and cause lakes to dry up.
