Since the last few days, the weather situation in Jammu and Kashmir has been devastating. Heavy to very heavy rainfall has been lashing the northern part of India, creating huge chaos among the tourists and the local residents. The unfavourable weather conditions in Jammu and Kashmir caused severe flooding, particularly in the Jammu region.
Following extremely heavy rainfall, the Tawi River is flowing way above the danger mark, creating a flood-like situation. The floodwaters in Jammu and Kashmir have damaged several houses and shops in the area.
As reported by news agency ANI, a portion of the road along the fourth Tawi bridge has also been washed away in the floods, disrupting the traffic movement across the state.
