Srinagar, July 20

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday reviewed the impact of heavy rain, flash floods and landslides across J&K and ordered officials to accelerate relief and infrastructure restoration.

Sinha expressed grief over the deaths in Doda and said emergency teams, including the National Disaster Response Force, State Disaster Response Force, police and Army, had been placed on high alert in vulnerable areas.

“Key roads in Poonch, Rajouri, Reasi, and Udhampur have been reopened,” Sinha said in a post on X, adding that work was continuing to restore water supplies.

He directed field teams to urgently assess damage to homes and public infrastructure in affected areas.

The review came as heavy rainfall continued to disrupt parts of J&K, with landslides and flash floods damaging roads, power infrastructure and water-supply systems.
