The Morning Standard
|August 16, 2025
Braving intermittent rain, rescuers intensified their search for survivors in a cloudburst-hit village in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district on Friday, even as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah put the death toll at 60, with 80 people still missing.
Over 100 people have been injured. Among the dead are mostly pilgrims, local residents, and two CISF personnel who were on duty at the site. An official said the condition of 37 people, among the injured, is critical.
Disaster struck Chisoti, the last motorable village on the way to the Machail Mata temple, around 12:25 pm on Thursday, leaving a trail of death and destruction. Rescuers pulled out 46 bodies on Thursday. Thirty bodies have been identified and handed over to the victims' families.
