Fact Check- 

Our investigation began with a reverse image search of key frames from the viral video, which led us to the same video, earlier uploaded on Facebook by a user named Sajad Wani on 8 May 2023 as the visuals of fresh snowfall at Daksum.

When the video started circulating on social media, claiming to show footage from recent snowfall, Sajad Wani clarified that he had originally uploaded this video in May 2023, as a Facebook reel, and requested users to abstain from sharing this footage as recent visuals of the snowfall, to avoid any confusion. 

In further search we found the local media coverage of this video. The ‘Kokernag News’, a local news website, issued a Facebook alert, and wrote, “ATTENTION, Fake news about fresh snowfall in Daksum Kokernag circulated by some Facebook page. It’s requested that no one circulate this video, no fresh snowfall reported so far in Daksum Kokernag. The video is old, which is viral on social media.”

Meanwhile we checked for the news of a snowfall in Kashmir we discovered that Jammu and Kashmir’s popular tourist destination Gulmarg received the first snowfall of the season on 24 September. 

Conclusion- 

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the viral video to be Misleading. An old snowfall video of Jammu and Kashmir’s Daksum is shared as recent.
