Jammu and Kashmir has faced heavy destruction in the monsoon this year. Many natural disasters came one after the other with cloudburst and landslides, in which many people have lost their lives. The situation is that now the Kashmir Valley has broken up.
The Kashmir Valley is cut off from the rest of the country, as parts of other roads including Jammu-Srinagar National Highway have been washed away due to landslides and rain. Because of this, they have been closed leaflets. More than 3,500 vehicles have been trapped in different places from Kathua to Kashmir due to the closure of highways and other inter-state roads since 26 August.
Jammu-Rajori-Poonch closed for highway vehicles
The highway was partially opened on Monday (1 September) for the movement of trapped vehicles. Apart from this, other important routes including Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch highway and Batote-Doda-Kishtwar highway are also closed for traffic due to landslides and roads flowing.
Railway tracks were sunk in landslide
Rail traffic in Jammu Railway Division has been closed for the last 9 days. After heavy rains on August 26 and sudden floods, the tracks were sunk at many places in the Pathankot-Jammu section. Pilgrims are trapped especially due to continuous rains in Jammu region and rail and road traffic has been badly disrupted. 34 people lost their lives in the landslide incident near Mata Vaishno Devi temple in Katra.
CM Omar Abdullah expressed concern?
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, after the 2014 flood, again targeted the previous governments amidst the deteriorating situation. He said that no arrangement was made to stop floods in the Kashmir Valley. The last 11 years have been ‘ruined’.
CM Omar Abdullah said that if the Jhelum river and its connected drains were cleaned, the situation would have been different today. We have to ask the question what was done after the 2014 floods in Kashmir? Those who were ruling here, they did not do anything to ensure that the floods did not come again.
