Jammu, Aug 30: Seven members of a family are among 11 people feared dead after landslides flattened residential houses in Reasi and Ramban districts of Jammu and Kashmir early on Saturday, officials said.
Heavy rains in the Badder village of Mahore triggered the landslide. A rescue operation is underway to trace the missing family, they said.
According to officials, the owner of the house, Nazir Ahmad, his wife and five minor sons are missing and are feared dead.
In a separate incident, three people died while two others are missing after a cloudburst struck a remote village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramban district, officials said on Saturday.
The cloudburst triggered flash floods in the mountainous Rajgarh, located about 25 kilometres from the district headquarters, early on Saturday morning, they said.
Rescuers have found the bodies of three people, including two women, who were washed away by the floods, officials said.
