At least 34 people, including Hindu pilgrims, were killed after being trapped under debris due to floods and landslides caused by heavy rain on the 27th local time in the Katra area, a small town in northern Jammu, India.
At the time, the pilgrims were on their way to the Vaishno Devi Temple, a representative Hindu pilgrimage site in India.
In the lowlands of Jammu, more than 5,000 people, including 3,500 residents, evacuated due to flooding, and government institutions and schools were closed.
In neighboring Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, where flood-related casualties have been frequent due to a recent sudden heavy downpour, more than 210,000 people evacuated as the river overflowed.
Since June 26, more than 800 people in Pakistan have died due to heavy rain, and over 60 people have died in Indian-administered Kashmir and surrounding areas.
