Photos Show People Fleeing Flooding in Kashmir After Weeks of Intense Rain in the Region
A rare meteorological event caused heavy rains leading to floods and landslides, resulting in three deaths and widespread infrastructure damage, officials reported.
- Heavy rainfall on August 26, 2025, caused flooding, landslides, and road blockages across Jammu and Kashmir, especially in Doda and Ramban districts.
- The rainfall was caused by an unusual interaction between a western disturbance and ongoing monsoon systems, with the India Meteorological Department cautioning that the severe conditions were expected to persist until the evening.
- Several rivers like the Chenab crossed danger levels, the Jammu-Srinagar highway was blocked by landslides, and rescue teams were deployed to affected areas.
- Authorities reported the Chenab River at 899.3 meters, just 1.25 meters below the highest flood level of 900 meters, and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah pledged relief and extra aid if needed.
- The flooding led to evacuations, infrastructure damage including washed-away footbridges and homes, and ongoing advisories urging residents to stay vigilant and avoid unsafe routes.
