He said that some roads in the two districts were blocked but later reopened with assistance from the local people.

He reaffirmed that the authorities are fully prepared for clearing the roads after the possible heavy snowfalls.

Malistan, Nawar, Jaghori and Jaghato are the colder districts of Ghazni where snow starts falling a little earlier than the onset of winters in the whole country.
