Overview

• Seven members of one family were killed when a landslide flattened their home in Reasi’s Badder village in the Mahore area, according to divisional authorities.
• Ramban’s Rajgarh/Drubla area saw a cloudburst that destroyed homes and a school, with officials reporting four dead and one person missing as searches continue.
• The latest fatalities raise the August death toll across Jammu division to roughly 120–130 in a fortnight of cloudbursts, flash floods and landslides, according to multiple official tallies.
• Key routes remain fragile: the Jammu–Srinagar highway briefly reopened to clear stranded vehicles before fresh slides forced renewed closures, and other mountain roads face ongoing blockages.
• Multi‑agency operations continue with SDRF/NDRF and Indian Air Force sorties delivering relief and evacuating people, as the IMD forecasts isolated heavy rain through September 2 and authorities keep the Vaishno Devi yatra suspended with an inquiry underway.
