A flood alert was issued in Srinagar late last night after the river Jhelum crossed the danger mark because of incessant rain across the Kashmir Valley since Saturday.
An avalanche warning has been issued in seven vulnerable districts of the rain-hit Valley. In central Kashmir's Budgam district, several houses were damaged or completely destroyed in a landslide caused by the rain.
Over the weekend, many low-lying areas in the city were flooded, including Rajbagh, one of the worst hit by the devastating floods in September that left over 250 dead and destroyed thousands of homes and buildings.
A man throws his belongings towards another to be moved to a safer place at a flooded neighbourhood after incessant rains in Srinagar on March 30, 2015.
