A massive volume of water rushed down from the mountains near the holy cave of Amarnath in Jammu & Kashmir after a cloudburst on July 28. People at public areas at the base of the holy cave have been asked to move to higher ground for safety, reported NDTV. No casualties have been reported. "So far no casualty has been reported," Jammu and Kashmir DGP Dilbagh Singh told NDTV. Except the security forces, whose camps are located at the base of the hill that leads to the shrine, few people are around. Amarnath Yatra was cancelled for a second year in a row due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, seven people in Udaipur sub-division of Lahaul and Spiti and two others in Chamba district’s Salooni have lost their lives in flash floods triggered by heavy rain since July 27 evening in Himachal Pradesh. Two people were injured while seven are missing. In Kullu district, four people including a tourist who were washed away in a tributary of the Parvati river, are feared dead. The district administration has initiated rescue operations. Watch the video to know more.
