STORY: Incessant heavy rains plunged parts of Indian-administered Kashmir into a state of crisis, with flash floods and rising river waters wreaking havoc across the region on Tuesday (August 26).

Rising waters of the Chenab River have brought the Pul Doda bridge under severe threat, according to local officials. Floodwaters are flowing dangerously close to the bridge, sparking fears of structural damage.

Road connectivity across the district remains disrupted due to landslides and falling boulders, leaving many villages cut off. Authorities have deployed vehicles with loudspeakers to warn residents against venturing near water bodies and appealed for people to remain indoors.

This month floods in Jammu and Kashmir have killed at least 60 people and nearly 400 more in northwest Pakistan.
