Kishtwar Cloudburst: Devasting Cloudburst caused by an intense rainfall caused confusion in the Kishtwar district, killed at least 37 people and injured over 100 authorities.
What happened in Kishtwar?
According to the officials, the mountains threw strong torrents of water and debris and hit the village of Chashoti with a small warning. The impact was so serious that the authorities still have to provide a clear estimate of the number of missing people.
The main Minister of Kashmir Omar Abdullah described the situation as “grim” in an official statement and confirmed that the flood was responsible cloudburst. This month, the disaster represents the second main tragedy related to floods in India.

Why was the Independence Day “at home” a tea party abolished by Omar Abdullah?
In the light of the tragedy, Jammu and CMM Omar Abdullah announced on X (formerly Twitter) that a traditional “home” tea party scheduled for 15th August will be canceled.
“We also decided not to continue with cultural events during the morning of the morning of independence. The formal event – speech, march of the past, etc. – will continue according to plan,” wrote CM Abdullah.
Cloudburst in the Himalayas
The 5th August floods swept the Himalayan city of Dharali in Uttarakhand and buried them in mud. The probable number of victims from this disaster is more than 70, but must still be confirmed.
The soil floods and landslides are common during the monsoon season from June to September, but experts claim that climate change associated with poorly planned development increases its frequency and severity.
The UN World Meteorological Organization said last year that increasingly intense floods and droughts are an “emergency signal” of what to come, because climate change makes the planet’s water cycle increasingly unforeseen.
