According to a police officer at Kupwara, “both police and local residents tried to rescue her, but she couldn’t be rescued in time, and her body was fished out from the stream later.”
The heavy rainfall also caused extensive damages in Hyhama, TrumnardBatpora, KanlibaghBatpora, Manigah, and Khumriyal. The police officer further stated, “the flash flood caused by heavy rainfall caused massive damages in TrumnardBatpora, with roads, culverts, and crops being damaged, and a few parked vehicles got buried under the debris that came crushing downstream due to flash floods.”

The injured have been identified as Ajaz Ahmed, son of Mohammad ShariefKatoch, resident of BhathanGhandriRamban (JCB operator) and Anil Singh (Tipper Driver), son of Suram Chand, resident of Dhar road Udhampur.”
As per the Meteorological Department’s forecast, Director MeTSonam Lotus warned, “From July 24-27, weather will remain partly to generally cloudy during the daytime with the possibility of light to moderate thundershower at many places, especially during late night, early morning.”
