$\color{red}\huge\bold\star\underline\mathcal{Answer:-}\star$

As Kanyakumari is in South and the south part of India is near the equator ( 8°4'N) whereas Kashmir is in north & 30° away from the equator too. At 0° latitude India is located. Since Kanyakumari is located near the equator therefore the difference in day and night is almost 1 hour but Kashmir is 30° away from equator. That's why we feel difference between day and night in the both regions.
