The northern Indian regions of Lahaul-Spiti and Gulmarg, traditionally abundant with winter snow, are facing alarming snowfall deficits, posing threats to water security and agriculture. The Save Lahaul Spiti Society is deeply concerned about the ecological impact and climate change consequences. Meteorologist Sonam Lotus highlights the absence of a crucial meteorological phenomenon, the western disturbance (WD), responsible for replenishing glaciers. Recent studies reveal a declining trend in WD frequency and intensity, impacting winter precipitation and increasing the risk of disasters. Snowless winters, attributed to global warming, are escalating concerns for Himalayan glacial melt, jeopardizing water resources and potentially affecting the Indus Water Treaty. Experts advocate urgent national programs to address these looming threats.
