Heavy rainfall triggered by a cloudburst caused significant disruption at the Kwar Hydroelectric Project in Kishtwar district, Jammu and Kashmir, late Sunday night. A landslide in neighbouring Doda district blocked the crucial Jammu-Kishtwar Road.<\/p>\n
The cloudburst unleashed an overwhelming flow of mud, rocks, and debris into the Kwar Hydroelectric Project site, which is currently under construction. The falling debris buried several vehicles and hampered ongoing work at the project. Officials are assessing the extent of the damage and closely monitoring the situation.<\/strong> Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far.<\/p>\n In addition, sustained heavy rainfall triggered a landslide in the Prem Nagar area of Doda district, resulting in the closure of the vital Jammu-Kishtwar Road. The landslide caused debris to spill onto the highway, rendering it impassable. Authorities mobilized teams to both affected sites, initiating restoration work to clear the debris and reopen the road for traffic as soon as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Jammu and Kashmir administration is working proactively to address the situation. Officials stated that they are maintaining close surveillance of weather conditions while restoration efforts continue in both Kishtwar and Doda districts.<\/p>\n Residents of the affected areas are urged to stay clear of the debris zones and remain updated on weather alerts. With more rain expected, authorities are on alert for additional landslides. Emergency services are prepared to respond swiftly in case of further incidents.<\/strong> As of now, further details are awaited from the officials overseeing the response.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A cloudburst at Kwar Hydroelectric Project disrupted operations and caused landslides that blocked the Jammu-Kishtwar Road.
