Overview

• Officials said a cloudburst over Rajgarh’s Drubla–Gadgram area in Ramban triggered flash floods that left four people dead and one missing, damaged homes and a school, and displaced families.
• A separate landslide in Badder village of Reasi buried a hillside home and killed seven members of one family, including five children, after overnight rain.
• Authorities reported the Jammu-region death toll since August 14 has climbed to about 130 as heavy rain keeps the IMD’s landslide and flash‑flood alerts in force.
• The Jammu–Srinagar highway remained largely closed and briefly reopened before fresh slides forced new shutdowns, stranding thousands of vehicles and hindering relief access.
• NDRF, SDRF, police, Army and IAF helicopters are mounting search, evacuation and relief missions, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to conduct a two‑day review visit from Sunday.
