Severe floods that occurred during the night hours in the Rajouri and Poonch districts of India's Jammu and Kashmir region destroyed numerous homes, roads, and vehicles. Because seasonal streams overflowed in seconds and engulfed the valleys, life in the region was deeply shaken and loss of life occurred.
Survivors recount the moments of terror when waters rushed down from the mountains into their homes without any warning at midnight, and how they had to flee in panic, grabbing their children. Many families barely escaped, leaving their homes, belongings, and livelihoods underwater; dozens of villages across the region faced massive destruction.
Following the delay in the arrival of officials, the local public mobilized to set up lifelines and transport people to safe areas using makeshift rafts. With agricultural lands and small businesses completely destroyed, the local residents are living in great fear and uncertainty due to ongoing rain warnings from the Meteorological Department.
