Days after Kishtwar, cloudburst kills 4 in J&K, houses buried, roads cut off

At least four people were killed and six injured in flash floods after a cloudburst in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district, officials said on Sunday. This comes just days after a similar incident in Kishtwar claimed over 60 lives.

It was in the early hours of Sunday that cloudbursts struck Ghati, a remote village in Rajbagh area of the district, and two other locations nearby, snapping access to Ghati village. A joint team of the police and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) has, however, reached the area since, and joined the locals in rescue efforts.

Bodies of four persons were recovered while six were rescued in an injured condition, officials told PTI.
