Heavy Rainfall Causes Flooding and Recovery Efforts in JammuPreviousNext

Heavy rainfall in Jammu on October 11 caused flash floods that inundated over two dozen localities, damaging homes and infrastructure. The body of 27-year-old Rukhsana Kouser, swept away by floodwaters, was recovered after three days. Residents, including those in Dream City, have struggled to clear mud and debris from their homes, citing inadequate drainage and damaged embankments. Authorities, including the State Disaster Response Force and local police, have been involved in relief and search operations, while some residents express frustration over insufficient government response.
