According to Rajendra Mahat of the Pathibhara Area Development Committee, snow fell on Saturday evening, intensifying the cold in the region.

To ensure easier access for pilgrims visiting the renowned shrine, fiber roofing has been installed along the trekking route, allowing smoother passage even during rain or snowfall.
