Torrential rains across J-K; two killed in house collapse, major roads closed
JAMMU/SRINAGAR, Sep 3(PTI): Heavy rains across Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday left a woman and her daughter dead while 40 persons were trapped in a flooded village in Akhnoor, officials said.
In Anantnag district, police rescued 25 nomadic families stranded under a bridge due to rise in the water level following heavy rains.
The rains led to increase in the water level in rivers, streams and rivulets which are already flowing close or above danger mark, while major roads, including all-weather Srinagar-Jammu national highway, remained closed for the second day owing to multiple landslides and landslips between Udhampur and Banihal, they said.
