A massive cloudburst and flash floods have devastated Chasoti village in Kishtwar, Jammu & Kashmir, claiming 65 lives and leaving over 100 people missing. Homes, a bridge, vehicles, and a community kitchen for pilgrims en route to Machail Mata temple were swept away in the deluge.
Rescue operations by the Indian Army, NDRF, SDRF, and local volunteers are underway, with 167 people rescued so far. PM Narendra Modi and political leaders across party lines have expressed deep sorrow, while Independence Day celebrations in the Union Territory have been cancelled. Rescue teams continue their frantic search amid fear of rising casualties.
