Ramban: Senior superintendent of Police Ramban on Sunday said that all police stations in the district have been put on high alert following the landslide in the area which caused damages to several houses and vehicles on Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
SSP Ramban Kulbir Singh while speaking with the media said that many houses and vehicles were damaged due to the landslides.
Singh stated, “All police stations have been alerted. Several houses and vehicles have been damaged in Ramban. The National Highway has been blocked. Around 100 people have been rescued from Dharam Kund. Three people have lost their lives in Baghana Village due to a house collapsing. Rescue operation is underway on the National Highway as well.”
Heavy rains in Ramban on Sunday triggered landslides, blocking the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) and damaging many homes and vehicles.
Authorities have asked people to avoid travelling on the highway until the weather improves and clearing operations are completed.
“The national highway (Jammu-Srinagar NH in Ramban district) is completely blocked (due to landslides). Avoid this highway till the weather improves. Clearance work is ongoing, but it does not seem that the highway will open before evening or tomorrow because it is raining continuously,” he said.
Landslides caused by heavy rainfall and hail storms damaged several buildings and vehicles in the area.
