Tawi river after existing bridge was damaged in the floods - Jammu

Описание: View of a bridge over Tawi river that was damage by flash floods in Jammu...

More than 1,10,000 people have been rescued from different parts of the flood-hit Jammu and Kashmir, but the death toll has crossed 200 Lakhs still remain stranded with many of them refusing to leave their homes. Rescuers want all people evacuated as there are concerns about the potential spread.

Over 20,000 Army personnel have been carrying out relief operations. 800 tonnes of relief material has been air dropped. The rain has now stopped and the water is receding in some areas. Where it has not receded, the Army is pumping water out to reach those trapped.

Restoring communication and connectivity is a priority. While communication lines have been restored to some extent, the Border Roads Organisation is working on restoring road links.

Meanwhile, the big fear in Jammu after the floods is that of landslides. More than 40 people lost their lives in a landslide in Sadal, a village near Udhampur. The village has been completely submerged by a landslide and has been buried under the debris. Rescue operations continue with the Army, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel deployed in the area.
