Two separate incidents of landslides and flash floods triggered by torrential two-hour long downpours killed at least seven people and injured 16 others in Kathua district of Jammu & Kashmir, in what was the latest episode of a string of tragedies that have struck the hills since the beginning of this monsoon season.

Sunday's incidents struck between 4am and 5.30am, when incessant rainfall brought down loose soil, boulders and mucky water cascading through villages, destroying houses and commercial establishments in Jodh Ghati and Janglote villages.

Both villages are located about 15 km and 13 km from Kathua district headquarters. The rains also damaged a railway bridge over the Sahar Khad rivulet in Jasrota, washed away Dhanni-Bhakta road bridge and damaged a portion of the National Highway 44.
