NEW DELHI, India: At least seven people were killed and many injured after a cloudburst triggered more flash floods in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday.

Military helicopters were deployed to rescue people stranded after the cloudburst in Kathua district.

Videos posted on social media showed damaged roads, homes, and vehicles in the places hit by Sunday’s floods and landslides.

People were being taken to safer places from the devastated areas.

The new flash floods added misery to the Jammu and Kashmir region still reeling from the impact of Thursday’s cloudburst that destroyed a camp of Hindu pilgrims in the village of Chisoti in Kishtwar district.

More than 65 people were killed in Kishtwar and scores are still missing. – BERNAMA
