Bhaderwah town in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir has woken up to rainfall on Tuesday.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Bhaderwah is likely to experience a partly cloudy sky with the possibility of moderate rain or thunderstorm on Tuesday. In addition to this, recent floods triggered by heavy rainfall have disrupted road connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir, with Poonch and Doda districts being the most affected.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh also visited the area to assess the restoration work on NH-44. In Doda district, a portion of the Pul Doda-Ghat Road was severely damaged on Friday due to flooding, further hampering movement.
