Overview

• Officials report 32 deaths from the Adhkwari landslide on the Katra–Vaishno Devi route, with overall fatalities across rain‑hit areas variously tallied in the mid‑30s to low‑40s by different outlets.
• Army relief columns and NDRF/SDRF teams are conducting search and rescue on the shrine track and across the region, and authorities say more than 10,000 people have been evacuated to safer locations.
• Rivers remain swollen, with the Madhopur barrage on the Ravi crossing one lakh cusecs and the Jhelum breaching flood levels at Sangam in Anantnag and at Ram Munshi Bagh in Srinagar.
• Infrastructure damage is extensive as bridges and road sections have been washed away, highways including Jammu–Srinagar and stretches of the Manali–Leh and Chandigarh–Manali routes are blocked, and telecom services suffered widespread outages before partial restoration.
• Northern Railways canceled 58 trains and short‑terminated or short‑originated 64 more, schools and exams were halted across Jammu and Kashmir, and the IMD warns of further heavy rain with flash‑flood and landslide risk even as showers eased in some pockets.
