SRINAGAR: A series of cloudbursts lashed several parts of Kashmir on Monday, triggering flash floods that claimed the life of a woman in Kupwara district, damaged infrastructure and forced authorities to evacuate hundreds of residents and tourists to safer locations.
The deceased, identified as Naseema Begum (52), was swept away by a flash flood after a cloudburst hit the Lolab area of Kupwara.
In Kupwara, flash floods also damaged a mosque and a pedestrian bridge at Bimla Wali Moori, disrupting local connectivity.
Around 200 people, including tourists, were shifted to safer locations in Pahalgam, while nearly 80 residents were evacuated in Shopian as a precautionary measure.
Authorities are also assessing the extent of damage caused to public infrastructure as intermittent rainfall continues across the Valley.
