Road connectivity hindered in Jammu & Kashmir, weather to improve by evening

Rain and snowfall lashed many parts of north India on Tuesday, with two people getting killed in an avalanche in Jammu and Kashmir.
 In Kashmir, rains lashed the plains, while the higher reaches of the region witnessed fresh snowfall for the second day. The Jammu-Srinagar national highway -- the only all-weather road linking the Valley with rest of the country -- was closed after an avalanche blocked both tubes of the Jawahar Tunnel on the Qazigund side at 4.25 am, police said.
