Incessant rains, cloudbursts and landslides have been wreaking havoc in the Union territory for the last one week, claiming over a hundred lives and leaving a trail of destruction.
Sixty-five persons, mostly pilgrims, were killed and over 100 injured after the cloudburst hit Chisoti on August 14. Seven persons, including five children, died and several others were injured in flash floods in Kathua district three days later, while 34 pilgrims lost their lives and 20 others sustained injuries in a landslide on the Vaishno Devi route in Reasi district on Tuesday.
Jammu region is the worst hit, where heavy rains flooded several low-lying areas, prompting evacuation of thousands of people. Roads and train traffic were badly hit while several properties, including houses, were damaged.
Northern Railways on Friday announced the cancellation of 46 incoming and outgoing trains from Jammu, Katra and Udhampur railway stations.
