Monsoon Wreaks Havoc in Jammu and Kashmir: Cloudburst in Ramban Kills 3, Rescue Operations Underway

At least three people died, and two people are still reported missing after a cloudburst in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district on Saturday morning. Officials confirmed that the incident took place in the Ragrah Tehsil of Ramban district.

For the unversed, the Ramban district is situated on the Chenab River and National Highway-44, which connects Jammu and Srinagar and is well-known for its mountainous terrain. For the past few days, heavy rainfall in the Ramban district has also resulted in the Chenab River crossing the danger-level mark and river water penetrating low-lying areas.

Saturday morning's cloudburst incident is the second to be reported in the union territory within 24 hours, and the third within a week.
