#Firstpost J&K: Cloudbursts Trigger Flash Floods In Kishtwar & Ganderbal | Spotlight | N18G

A tragic incident unfolded in northern India as cloudbursts hit two districts of Jammu and Kashmir – Kishtwar and Ganderbal. The cloudburst triggered flash floods in Kishtwar, ravaging the Chashoti village, a starting point for a pilgrimage to a Hindu temple. Rescue operations are underway. The Ganderbal district witnessed a similar harrowing incident as a cloudburst sent gushes of water down the slopes. The extreme weather is likely to persist in Jammu and Kashmir, as the Meteorological Centre has issued an alert for moderate to heavy rainfall and warned of thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds. Monsoon is intensifying across northern India. A cloudburst also rocked Himachal Pradesh. In the Delhi-National Capital Region, heavy rainfall brought the city to a standstill. A tree fell on a vehicle and killed a man while injuring others. The weather department has issued a red alert in Delhi. An orange alert has been sounded in the Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh states for heavy rains.
