The Cloudburst In The Neelam Valley

Rescue and relief operations continue in Neelam Valley

The flash floods wreaked havoc over many villages as rescue and relief efforts continue in the Neelam Valley of Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday. The cloudburst hit on Saturday evening, triggering flash floods that washed away dozens of homes, roads, and bridges, leaving hundreds of families homeless.

According to the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), at least six people have been killed and several others are still missing. Hundreds of houses were damaged, and hundreds of acres of agricultural land were swept away.

Rescue teams from the Pakistan Army, Navy, and civil administration are working to rescue those stranded in the affected areas, while the government has announced compensation for the victims.
