Daily Life In Kashmir

Kashmiri boatmen extract sand from the River Jhelum in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on December 12, 2025. A severe rainfall deficit of nearly 90 percent since November 5 causes major rivers and streams in the region to reach alarmingly low levels, with some springs drying up. Vast stretches of riverbeds are exposed, leaving the landscape dry and barren. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
