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.

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.

CM Omar Abdullah said that if the Jhelum river and its connected drains were cleaned, the situation would have been different today.
