Jammu and Kashmir(July 21, 2017): 13 people were killed and 11 injured in separate incidents of cloudbursts, flash floods and a landslide in Doda, Kishtwar and Udhampur districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
Six persons were killed and 11 injured after flash floods triggered by a cloudburst wreaked havoc in Thathri town of Doda district inundating vast areas along the Batote-Kishtwar National Highway and washing away half a dozen houses.
While 11 people have been rescued from the debris, many others are feared trapped and the toll is likely to rise, police said.
Four of a family were among those killed in the flash flood triggered by the cloudburst that damaged six houses, two shops and a school.
“We cannot assess the exact loss of property immediately as we are in the middle of operations to rescue those still trapped under the debris,” the Deputy SP said.
