Residents use a boat to move belongings and children through floodwaters outside their home on the outskirts of Srinagar, India, where rising waters submerge villages and displace thousands. Dozens of villages across the Himalayan Valley remain under water after days of relentless rainfall, fueling fears of worsening conditions. Vast stretches of farmland are submerged, homes are damaged, and families are forced to flee to higher ground. With road connectivity cut and shops shuttered, stranded residents face acute 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 fresh road blockages. The Srinagar-Jammu National Highway--the Valley's lifeline--is closed for the ninth straight day, further isolating Kashmir from vital supplies. Rescue teams begin evacuating vulnerable populations, but fear grips the region as memories of the catastrophic 2014 floods resurface. In neighboring Himachal Pradesh, at least seven people die in a landslide, underscoring the wider human toll of extreme weather battering the Himalayan region.
