Seven feared dead in landslide in J-K’s Reasi
Seven members of a family are feared dead after a landslide flattened their house in a remote village in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir early on Saturday. Heavy rains in the Badder village of Mahore triggered the landslide. A rescue operation is underway to trace the missing family, they said.
According to officials, the owner of the house, Nazir Ahmad, his wife and five minor sons are missing and are feared dead.
Over 36 people lost their lives in rain-related incidents
This latest disaster adds to a series of destructive events in Jammu and Kashmir this month, where heavy rains, flash floods, and landslides have already caused widespread damage. Several districts in the Jammu region have suffered massive devastation, with official figures confirming that more than 36 people have lost their lives in rain-related incidents so far.
In Reasi and Doda districts alone, at least nine people have died as heavy rainfall triggered multiple landslides, swollen rivers, and flood-like conditions that swept through several villages.
Over the past week, districts such as Jammu, Samba, and Kathua have also seen severe damage to homes, property, and infrastructure.
