Heavy snow in northern Gilan Province in the last few days has killed seven people, blocked roads and cut off electricity to 200,000 subscribers.
About 200 villages have no power, many of them are trapped under thick snow. Access to rural areas remains blocked due to the long distance from main snow-covered roads and difficult terrain, Mehr News Agency reported.
State TV has been broadcasting scenes of the snow trapped regions and heavy snow removal equipment clearing highways and mountainous roads and helping trapped vehicles.
