The lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 might have forced us to stay at home, but is giving nature a chance to rejuvenate after decades. Cities are witnessing clean air and lesser traffic.
The effect of clean air was also visible in Jalandhar. Here, residents could see snow-clad Himalayan ranges.
After a curfew of 11 days, people in Jalandhar woke up to this enchanting view.

It is being believed that the mountain ranges visible in the pictures could be the Dhauladhar range, which lies at a distance of 213 km from Jalandhar.
Residents tried to capture this once in a lifetime view from the roofs of their homes.
What nature was..

This pic taken from Jalandhr by Pardeep Arora from his balcony shows Dhauladhar Range which is in kangra district of HP. Reminds of old saying on ‘clear day you can see forever’. Corona has cleared pollution for now and hills are beckoning pic.twitter.com/ZdbGVAmYn4
