A flood-like situation has emerged in the Kashmir Valley following continuous rainfall, causing rivers and streams to swell above the danger mark.
The administration has declared a flood alert across several districts as water levels in the Jhelum and its tributaries rose sharply.
Calling the weather conditions adverse, the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Anshul Garg said, “Adverse weather conditions are prevailing… The situation is being closely monitored. Irrigation and flood control teams are continuously monitoring from South Kashmir to North Kashmir. 

Our water gauge levels are being monitored closely at Sangam, Anantnag, and Ram Munshi Bagh.”
The Divisional Commissioner highlighted the steps taken by the administration and added, “All our DCs of South Kashmir and Central Kashmir are on spot… We had closed schools, colleges and universities last night as a precautionary measure…”
As part of the emergency response, the administration ordered the closure of all schools, colleges, and universities and cancelled all examinations to ensure the safety of students. Authorities have kept all departments and response teams on standby to deal with any eventuality.
