Daily Life In Kashmir, India
Commuters make their way across a bridge over the Jhelum River on a cold, foggy afternoon in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on December 11, 2025. Kashmir is currently in the grip of an intense cold wave, with dense fog persisting across several parts of the Valley. According to data from Air Quality India, several areas in Jammu and Kashmir record an Air Quality Index (AQI) above 288, placing them in the 'Very Poor' category on international air-quality standards. The rising pollution levels spark growing concern about their potential impact on tourism in the region. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
