Flash floods triggered by heavy overnight rainfall caused widespread damage in Rajouri district on Sunday, sweeping away vehicles, inundating residential areas and damaging public infrastructure.
Officials said the body of a missing woman was recovered during rescue operations, while several families were shifted to safer locations.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha reviewed the situation and directed immediate relief measures, while Chief Minister Omar Abdullah cut short his Delhi visit to monitor relief efforts. As a precaution, the Shri Shiv Khori Yatra in Reasi was suspended amid forecasts of continued heavy rainfall across the Jammu region.
