Unseasonal snowfall and continuous rainfall have caused flash floods in Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir, killing five people, including two soldiers. A red alert warning for Monday has been issued for some parts of Jammu and Ladakh as water bodies continue to flood. Several lower catchment areas have been evacuated to safety, and many villages are now submerged. Some people caught in floods have been rescued by police and search and rescue teams.
The body of a junior commissioned officer was retrieved from a stream in the Poshana area of Surankote late Saturday evening, while the body of a second soldier was found this morning as the water level started receding in the district.
