Uttarakhand's Om Parvat, a popular tourist spot known for its snow-covered "Om" shape, experienced its first snowless period, attributed to scanty rain, scattered snowfall, vehicular pollution, and global warming. The hill's snow completely melted for the first time, raising concerns about potential tourism impact if it remains snowless. Snowfall returned to the mountain on Monday night.
