Heavy rain triggered flash floods in various areas of Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramban district, resulting in the deaths of three people and the rescue of more than 100 individuals early on Sunday, officials said.
The continuous rainfall over the J-K regions also resulted in landslides and mudslides at nearly a dozen places between Nashri and Banihal along the strategic Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, prompting traffic to be suspended, they said, PTI reported.
Officials said a cloudburst hit Seri Bagna village in Ramban, killing three people, including two brothers, Aqib Ahmad and Mohd Saqib.
The rescue operation in the village was continuing when the last reports were received, they said, PTI reported.
