Officers help stranded pilgrims cross a makeshift bridge in the cloudburst-hit village of Chisoti, in the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir, on August 17, 2025. Flash floods triggered by a cloudburst on August 14 kill at least 60 people and leave over 100 injured in Chisoti village of Kishtwar district, Jammu and Kashmir. The floods hit the pilgrimage route to the Machail Mata temple, sweeping away a market, a community kitchen for pilgrims, and a security post. Rescue teams work for three days to find the missing and help survivors, officials say.
