Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday inspected the condition of the 4th Tawi bridge, a part of which was washed away in the floods following incessant heavy rainfall.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha were also present.

Shah also met with the flood-affected people of Mangu Chak village.

Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a review meeting regarding the flood situation in Jammu and Kashmir at Raj Bhavan in Jammu.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Leader of the Opposition Sunil Sharma, and others are present at the meeting.

A devastating landslide on August 26 near the Vaishno Devi temple in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district, claimed over 30 lives and injured 20 others.

The disaster struck around 3 pm on August 26, when heavy rains triggered a massive landslide near the Inderprastha Bhojnalaya at Adhkuwari, about halfway along the 12-kilometre trek from Katra to the shrine.

On August 27, the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi yatra was suspended due to a landslide and heavy rainfall. Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has ordered the constitution of a high-level three-member committee to investigate the causes of the landslide.

On Saturday, four people were killed and one was reported missing after a cloudburst hit the Rajgarh area of Ramban district in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Indian Army, along with Jammu and Kashmir Police, CRPF, UTDRF and other rescue teams, on Sunday launched operations after a cloudburst hit Rajgarh Tehsil in Ramban district, where flash floods affected multiple locations and four bodies have been recovered so far, officials said.

On Saturday, Deputy Commissioner Ramban, Mohammad Alyas Khan, along with Senior Superintendent of Police Arun Gupta, rushed to the site. The team was accompanied by personnel from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and Quick Response Team (QRT).

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah visited the cloudburst-hit Ramban district on Sunday to assess the damage. (ANI)
