Flood Crisis Deepens In Himalayan Valley

A Kashmiri woman sits atop her house, looking toward submerged homes on the outskirts of Srinagar on Thursday, as rising waters engulf dozens of villages across the Himalayan Valley, displacing thousands and fueling fears of worsening conditions. Agricultural land lies underwater, houses are damaged, and families flee to higher ground. With road connectivity snapped and shops shuttered, stranded residents face severe shortages of essential supplies as transport services remain paralyzed. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues a red alert, warning of heightened risks of landslides, flash floods, and further road blockages. The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway--the Valley's lifeline--is closed for the ninth consecutive day, deepening the crisis and cutting Kashmir off from vital supplies. Rescue teams begin evacuating vulnerable populations, but fear grips the region as memories of the devastating 2014 floods resurface. Adding to the tragedy, at least seven people die in a landslide in Himachal Pradesh, underscoring the wider human toll of extreme weather battering the Himalayan region.
