Srinagar: Up to 16 people were killed on Monday as a devastating flood in the Kashmir Valley forced thousands to flee to safer places as rain-fed streams rushed down the mountains. A man was washed away by a swollen river in Jammu region.
As the water level in the Jhelum river rose menacingly, a high alert was sounded in the region. There are fears of a repeat of the terrible September 2014 floods that killed over 200 people.
A landslide in Laden village in Budgam buried two houses, trapping 16 people from two families under the debris. While six bodies were found, all others are feared killed, officials said.
