In a dramatic rescue operation, four family members, including two women and a child, were saved after being swept away by a flash flood in the Ravi River in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district. Local police confirmed the incident occurred on Monday due to sudden heavy rainfall.
Mohammed Shafi, 60, along with his wife Reshma, 50, their daughter Parveena, 28, and a two-year-old grandchild, were caught in the rushing waters. The incident took place near Shahpur Kandi and prompted a swift response by local authorities and rescue teams.
