Rising Kashmir
Udhampur, July 23: A significant portion of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) on the down tube (Jammu-bound lane) subsided near Dewal Bridge in the Udhampur district amid continuous heavy rainfall.
This adds to a growing list of infrastructure damage across the region this week, as flash floods also damaged the side of a newly constructed Kallar-Androla bridge on Munawer river.
Before the construction of the bridge, residents used a suspension (jhula) bridge to cross the river.
A tragedy also occurred when a cloudburst triggered flash floods in Jammu and Kashmir's Surankote area, leaving atleast seven dead on Sunday.
"We are deeply saddened and regret the loss of so many lives in Poonch district.
