Heavy rainfall in the upper reaches triggers flash floods in Thathri town in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, with boulders, mud and debris swept into the area early Tuesday. Multiple sources report that several structures and houses are damaged, and in some cases debris buries parts of residential areas. Vehicles are also affected, with reports of damage and vehicles being washed away.
The flooding and associated landslides disrupt road connectivity. The Doda–Kishtwar highway remains blocked due to landslides, suspending vehicular movement between districts, while restoration teams work to clear debris and reopen the route. Officials and authorities monitor the situation as they assess the extent of damage across the affected settlements.
Business Line - Home notes that this is the third flash-flood incident in the twin districts of Doda and Kishtwar within the past two days, following continued heavy rain over the mountainous region. Together, the reports describe widespread damage at the local level and ongoing response efforts to restore transport links.
