Doda, August 1, KNT: Rising water levels in the Chenab River in the Jammu region have caused flooding in several low-lying areas, prompting the local administration to issue an urgent advisory asking people to stay away from the riverbanks.
Officials confirmed that due to continuous rainfall in the upper reaches, the river is flowing at a dangerously high level, submerging nearby fields and creating a threat to residential pockets along its course. Authorities have alerted residents living near vulnerable zones to remain cautious.
