At least 17 killed in rain-related incidents
On Sunday, Jammu and Kashmir bore the brunt of monsoon fury, accounting for 12 out of 17 deaths reported in rain-related incidents across northern and eastern India. The death toll in Jammu and Kashmir rose to 12 as torrential rains unleashed landslides and flash floods across the twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri, causing widespread damage to public and private infrastructure including roads and houses.
The devastation prompted Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to skip National Conference’s proposed statehood protest in Delhi on Monday and rush to Jammu to take stock of the emerging situation and oversee relief efforts. Abdullah reached the Civil Secretariat here at 6 pm and chaired a high-level meeting.
The worst devastation was reported from Surankote tehsil in Poonch district, where most of the fatalities occurred, while rescue teams raced against time to trace the missing persons, the officials said. A police official said one more body was recovered in Surankote area of Poonch in the evening, taking the death toll to 10, while two persons, including a woman, lost their lives in flash floods in Rajouri district.
