The people stated that Latti and its upper ranges in Dudu Basantgarh area which was under the grip of severe chilly weather conditions, witnessed first snowfall of the winter which may lead to closure of roads leading to their area and further worsen the supply of wheat flour, rice and sugar in the times to come.
