BLOOD-STAINED BODIES, MUD-WRAPPED INJURED REVEAL IMPACT
CHOSITI (JAMMU): Heartwrenching scenes of destruction and grief unfolded at Chositi village in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district on Thursday as rescue teams dug through mud and debris to retrieve bodies and save survivors after a massive cloudburst triggered flash floods and landslides in the remote Himalayan region.
At least 46 people, including two CISF personnel, were killed in the disaster, officials confirmed. The toll is expected to rise as more people remain trapped. Over 160 people have been rescued so far, with 38 reported to be in serious condition.
Blood-stained bodies, mud-filled lungs, shattered ribs, and wounds packed with stones marked the devastating injuries suffered by villagers, pilgrims, and security personnel caught in the deluge. Locals, Army personnel, and police carried the injured on their backs across the treacherous, slush-covered terrain to hospitals.
