Pilgrimage Route Hit as Flash Flood Kills Dozens in Kashmir
At least 40 people were killed and more than 100 injured on Thursday after a sudden cloudburst set off a flash flood in Kishtwar, a remote district in the Indian-controlled part of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said. More than 250 people remain missing. The brunt of the flooding struck Chashoti, a village on the southern, Jammu side of the territory, along the route of the Machail Mata Yatra, a Hindu pilgrimage that draws hundreds of thousands of devotees. The burst of rain came around noon, sending water and debris crashing through the settlement. Makeshift shops, community kitchens, a security camp and parking areas were destroyed. Local officials said hundreds of people were in Chashoti at the time, which is the last base camp before the trek to the shrine. The annual event typically attracts nearly 300,000 pilgrims. Many of the injured were taken to hospitals in the district, with some in critical condition. Mannan Sharma, a 12-year-old pilgrim, saw how swiftly a Himalayan flood can strike. He said by phone that he, his sister and their parents were descending a steep stretch from the shrine when he heard a loud bang. Within a minute, Mannan said, the floodwaters swept away all four of them. They were later rescued and were being treated at a local hospital. 'We couldn't understand what was happening. It was so sudden,' he said. 'The area where people had put up tents lies just below a bend in the valley and has no view of the higher ground, which is why the flooding struck without warning and people had no time to run away.' Kishtwar is a mountainous, sparsely populated district in Jammu and Kashmir, a territory claimed by both India and Pakistan. Its population is mixed, almost evenly, between Muslims and Hindus, which is unusual for the region. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

At least 33 feared dead after flash flood devastates remote Himalayan village
At least 33 people were feared dead after a flash flood triggered by sudden heavy rain devastated a remote village in the restive Himalayan region of Kashmir. Nearly 200 people were also missing after the disaster struck Chasoti village, a pitstop on a popular Hindu pilgrimage route in Kishtwar district, Reuters quoted government officials as saying. Chishoti is where pilgrims leave their vehicles and set out on foot to the Machail Mata temple, located at an elevation of 2,800m. 'The news is grim and accurate, verified information from the area hit by the cloudburst is slow in arriving,' Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said. Federal deputy minister for science and technology, Jitendra Singh, said the flood was triggered by a cloudburst and "could result in substantial casualties". He said rescue teams were finding it hard to reach the village due to bad weather. The flood washed away a road and the weather wasn't helicopter-worthy, he said. Susheel Kumar Sharma, a government official, said villagers and local public workers recovered bodies of seven people from a stream and rescued nearly 60 people. Mr Sharma said many people were still missing as the flood swept away dozens of vehicles and motorbikes. TV footage showed pilgrims crying in fear as floodwaters inundated the village. Villagers said the flood also washed away makeshift shops and community kitchens set up for the pilgrims. Lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha, the top administrator of Kashmir appointed by New Delhi, offered condolences for the loss of life in the disaster and said he had directed personnel from India's military, paramilitary, police and disaster management agencies to strengthen rescue and relief operations. Narendra Modi said "the situation is being monitored closely". "Rescue and relief operations are underway. Every possible assistance will be provided to those in need," the prime minister said on X. A cloudburst, according to the Indian Meteorological Department, is an intense downpour of over 100mm of rain in just an hour that can trigger floods and landslides, especially in mountainous areas. Cloudbursts are increasingly common in India's Himalayan regions, which are prone to flash floods and landslides.
