1 Dead, Vehicles Swept Away As Flash Floods Hit J&K's Rajouri
Heavy rainfall in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district has resulted in one death and significant property damage due to flash floods. Authorities have launched rescue operations as rising water levels continue to threaten low-lying residential areas.
One person has died and several vehicles were swept away after intense monsoon rains triggered flash floods across various parts of the Rajouri district. The sudden surge in water levels has damaged local infrastructure, including roads and bridges, disrupting connectivity in the mountainous region.
Local emergency services and disaster response teams were deployed immediately to evacuate residents from high-risk zones near riverbanks. Visual reports from the scene show multiple passenger vehicles submerged or carried downstream by the fast-moving currents.
District administration officials have issued an advisory urging citizens to stay away from water bodies and vulnerable slopes until the weather stabilizes. Relief efforts are currently focused on providing temporary shelter to displaced families and assessing the total extent of the property loss. Source: Local news reports.
