At least four people, including three women, were killed and several went missing after heavy rains triggered landslides and flash floods in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district early Sunday, officials said.
All the deaths were reported from the worst-affected Surankote tehsil, where authorities have deployed rescue teams and intensified relief operations to reach stranded residents, clear affected areas, and provide immediate assistance to those impacted by the heavy rains, they said.
A 28-year-old woman, Nazia Kousar, was killed when her house collapsed in Noonabandi village. Her Husband, Mohd Hafiz, and three children, aged between two and six years, were rescued with injuries and shifted to the hospital, officials said.
