Amid the intense spells of rain over the last few weeks in Jammu and Kashmir, the situation still does not look to get any easier. With all the havoc done across the state in the last few days, authorities are now on high alert. Nearly 400 residents of Kalaban village in the Mendhar subdivision of Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district were shifted to temporary shelters on Monday. This action by the authorities comes after several houses developed cracks due to land subsidence triggered by continuous rainfall, officials said on Monday.

As reported by news agency ANI, authorities, with the support of a local NGO, Jammu and Kashmir authorities are providing relief material and essentials to the displaced families. Moreover, the administration has declared Kalaban unsafe and directed residents to evacuate until further notice.
