Record-breaking rainfall hit Jammu and Kashmir, with Udhampur and Jammu witnessing historic downpours. The relentless rains caused landslides and widespread flooding, devastating the region.
Tragically, a landslide near the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine resulted in 32 fatalities, and additional rain-related incidents claimed four lives in Jammu's Doda district.
With rescue operations underway, officials evacuated over 5,000 residents from flooded areas as disrupted essential services compound the crisis. Although rainfall intensity decreased on Wednesday, the Jammu division remains on high alert.
