Flash Floods Leave Trail of Destruction
A powerful cloudburst followed by flash floods has caused extensive damage in the Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir after heavy rainfall lashed the region. The sudden flooding disrupted daily life, washing away farmland, orchards, homes, and other private property in several affected villages.
Twin Cloudbursts Strike Khaljugasar
According to local officials, two cloudbursts were reported in the Khaljugasar area of Bhalesa in Doda district. The intense downpour triggered fast moving floodwaters that swept through agricultural fields and fruit orchards, leaving farmers facing heavy losses. Several residential buildings and private assets were also damaged by the force of the flood.
Rescue Teams Continue Relief Work
The district administration quickly activated disaster response teams to manage the emergency. Rescue and relief operations are underway in the flood affected areas, with authorities working to move stranded residents to safer locations and provide immediate assistance.
