Sudden, heavy rain in Pakistan, India-administered Kashmir and Nepal kills more than 300 people
Sudden floods triggered by heavy rains have killed more than 300 people across parts of Pakistan, India-administered Kashmir and Nepal, authorities have said, as scores of people remain missing. In northwestern Pakistan, at least 203 people were killed in the space of 24 hours, local authorities reported Friday. Separately, five crew members were killed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province after a helicopter crashed during relief efforts, according to a local government official. In India-administered Kashmir, at least 60 people have died and more than 200 are missing in the town of Chashoti on Friday, a popular pilgrimage destination for Hindu tourists, Reuters reported. At least 41 people died in Nepal, with another 121 left injured, Reuters reported, citing the country's disaster management authority. And at least eight people were killed in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, including six family members buried in the debris of their home, Reuters reported. 'When the rain intensified, it wasn't long before I felt as if an earthquake had struck — the whole ground was shaking,' said Farhad Ali, a student living in Salarzai, in hard-hit northern Pakistan. 'In the pouring rain, my entire family ran outside, and we saw a torrent of mud and massive boulders rushing through the stream near our house. It felt like doomsday had arrived, with scenes straight out of the end of the world.' Hari Chand mourns the death of his wife during flash floods in Kashmir, on Friday. Channi Anand/AP Torrential rains, huge landslides and deadly floodwaters ripped through the region in recent weeks after a particularly fierce monsoon season began in early June, washing out entire neighborhoods and reducing homes to rubble. On Friday, Pakistan's Meteorological Department issued a flood alert for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, warning of more flash floods and urban flooding. Social media footage showed huge streams of brown water rushing through the province. Authorities urged residents to avoid tourist areas and not cross rivers during the floods. It comes after India's Meteorological Department said on Wednesday that the rainfall was due to a 'cloudburst,' which is a sudden and heavy downpour of more than 100 millimeters (4 inches) of rain in just one hour. Analysts warned the human-made climate crisis has exacerbated the intensity and frequency of seasonal floods in the Himalayas this year. Dramatic video shared on social media showed roads turned into raging rivers, while the downpour devastated entire buildings and swept away vehicles in Indian-administered Kashmir. In one of the clips, a wall of water, mud and debris could be seen rolling down the mountainside. Frantic rescue operations persisted across the region, with army and police personnel working to find those missing. Some of the rescued people have been taken to hospitals. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also chaired an emergency meeting on the cloudburst and subsequent rescue efforts in the capital Islamabad on Friday. 'An unbearable sight' Bodies were swept away and entire community hubs washed out in the foothills of India-administered Kashmir, eyewitnesses and emergency crews recalled, as survivors struggled to reconcile the scale of destruction. One 75-year-old village resident described a 'sight of complete devastation from all sides' after he saw eight bodies being pulled out from under the mud. 'It was heartbreaking and an unbearable sight,' Abdul Majeed Bichoo, a social activist, told the Associated Press. Miraculously, three horses were 'recovered alive,' he added. National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel search for victims on Friday. Mir Imran/AFP/Getty Images Earlier this month, another surge of flood water tore through a mountainous village in the Himalayas in India's northern Uttarakhand state, leaving at least four people dead. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he'd cancelled some events that had been planned to celebrate the anniversary of India's independence from Britain on Friday. The Machail yatra is a popular pilgrimage to the high altitude Himalayan shrine of Machail Mata, one of the manifestations of Goddess Durga, and pilgrims trek to the temple from Chasoti, where the road for vehicles ends.

India achieved its commitment of 50% target for installed capacity from non-fossil fuel sources, 5 years ahead of schedule. Kashmir • Kashmir is on a path of steady progress. Free and fair elections were held in Jammu & Kashmir in 2024 with a voter turn out of over 60%. State GDP of Kashmir is growing at 10% annually, higher than the rest of India. • The budgetary allocation has been increasing. From $4.3 billion in 2023, went up to $5 billion in 2024 while this year the initial allocation is also close to US$5 billion. • Kashmir is termed Switzerland of the East.

S&P Upgrades India's Sovereign Rating to ‘BBB' With Stable Outlook
Taarek Refaat S&P Global Ratings has upgraded India's long-term sovereign credit rating to 'BBB' from 'BBB-', assigning a Stable Outlook, in the country's first rating increase since 2007. The move reflects stronger domestic demand, reduced dependence on external trade, and improved fiscal resilience, which have helped India absorb the impact of U.S. tariffs of 50% on its exports, sanctions introduced by President Donald Trump in response to India's imports of Russian oil. S&P projects the government's debt-to-GDP ratio will decline from 83% in fiscal 2025 to 78% by 2029. It also lifted India's transfer and convertibility assessment to 'A-', highlighting improved external strength and a lower risk of payment restrictions. Following the announcement, the Indian rupee rose to 87.58 against the U.S. dollar, while yields on 10-year government bonds fell seven basis points to 6.38%, signaling heightened investor confidence. The Ministry of Finance welcomed the upgrade, reaffirming its commitment to structural reforms and its vision for India to achieve developed-economy status by 2047. Market strategists described the decision as 'a powerful signal to global debt markets,' expecting it to bolster foreign investment inflows and improve demand for long-term sovereign paper. The Stable Outlook reflects S&P's expectation that India will maintain fiscal discipline and solid growth over the next two years. However, the agency warned that slippage in deficit reduction or a structural slowdown could put downward pressure on the rating, while continued fiscal improvement could pave the way for further upgrades. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
