The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) has issued a flood alert in Jammu after a sharp rise in the Tawi River’s water levels due to continuous heavy rainfall. Officials have warned residents, particularly those in low-lying and riverside areas, to remain vigilant and avoid venturing near the riverbanks. The rising water poses a potential threat of flooding, with authorities keeping emergency teams on high alert for any evacuation needs. With the Meteorological Department forecasting more rain, the risk of flash floods and landslides cannot be ruled out. People have been urged to follow safety advisories, stay cautious, and ensure preparedness to minimize risks.
