Floods and landslides kill over 30 in Indian Kashmir

The best disaster administration official says at least 32 people died in flashes caused by heavy rains in a distant, mountainous village in the Indian -controlled Kashmir.

Mohammed IRSHAD said that rescue teams that cleared the village of Chosti Chosti, which is ruined, brought at least 100 people to security.

He said at least 50 people are still missing.

India’s Deputy Minister of Science and Technology, Jitendra Singh, said the floods were triggered by a cloud explosion in Jammu and Kashmir’s Chostian region and “may cause important wounded”.

Chositi is a remote village in the Kishtwar region of Kashmir, and is an accessible last village of motor vehicles on the way to an annual Hindu pilgrimage for a mountainous temple.

He is afraid that pilgrims will be affected by disaster.

Authorities, the volume was suspended and more rescue team on the road to the region, he said.

Lieutenant Manoj Sinha, the senior manager of the new Delhi in Kashmir, wished condolences to the loss of life and said that he had directed India’s military and paramilitary forces to strengthen the rescue and relief operations from the police and disaster administration officials.

Sudden, intense downpour on small areas known as cloud explosions is becoming increasingly widespread in the Himalayan regions of India.

Cloud explosions have the potential to cause destruction by causing intense floods and landslides affecting thousands of people in mountainous regions.

Experts, partly due to climate change cloud explosions have increased in recent years, storm damage to the mountain regions increased due to unplanned development, he says.
