| Cloudburst triggers flash flood in central Kashmir, several houses damaged | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, July 12: Several residential houses and roads were damaged by a flash flood triggered by a cloudburst that hit central Kashmir district of Ganderbal in the wee hours on Monday.
Official sources said that a cloudburst hit village Watlar in Ganderbal, triggering a flash flood in the wee hours on Monday in a local stream. "Several residential houses and roads were damaged due to the flashflood," they said.
However, they said there was no loss of life reported in the incident. "A joint team of Police and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) has launched a rescue operation in the area to evacuate people from vulnerable spots," they said. They said an operation to restore road connectivity to the area was also underway.
Meanwhile, locals accused the administration of failing to remove encroachment on Charnari Nallah. "The flash flood was caused as the capacity of the nallah to carry water has been reduced due to encroachments. We have approached the administration many times, but nothing was done to remove the encroachment. There would have been less damage if the encroachments would have been removed," they said. |
