Devastating flash floods hit Chasiti village in Indian-controlled Kashmir’s Kishtwar district on August 14th, triggered by a sudden cloudburst.

At least 56 people have died, and around 80 remain missing. The disaster disrupted a Hindu pilgrimage, stranding over 200 devotees.

Rescue teams, including the National Disaster Response Force, have evacuated more than 300 individuals. Authorities warn of continued heavy rainfall.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pledged full support for rescue operations.

Experts link the rising frequency of cloudbursts to climate change and unplanned development in the Himalayan region.
