Multiple landslides in the last few days in northern India and Pakistan<\/h5>\n

Heavy rainfall in the last few days in northern India and Pakistan has triggered extensive landsliding, resulting in surprisingly high losses.\u00a0 Whilst this is an area that receives Spring rains, multiple landslides to this degree are not normal, it being some months prior to the development of the southwest monsoon.\u00a0 Key incidents include:<\/p>\n

1. Susam, Chitral, Pakistan<\/h5>\n

A mudslide triggered by heavy rainfall<\/a> killed eight ninth grade students returning from exams.\u00a0 Some reports<\/a> have suggested 9 or 11 fatalities, and there is some confusion over whether this might have been an avalanche.<\/p>\n

2. Ramsu area of Ramban district, Jammu and Kashmi, India<\/h5>\n

Five people died<\/a>, and three were injured, when a taxi was knocked off the road and into a river by a rockfall.<\/p>\n

3. Multiple landslides on the Jammu-Srinigar highway<\/h5>\n

Reports indicate<\/a> that the road between Jammu and Srinigar was closed by landslides at Sher Bibi, Panthyal, Battery Chashma, Marog and Anokhi Fall, trapping more than a thousand vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Multiple landslides on the Doda-Batote highway<\/h5>\n

A massive landslide at the Raggi Nullah blocked the sole highway linking these twin districts.\u00a0 Reports suggest<\/a> hundreds of vehicles were trapped.

A couple were killed by a landslide<\/a> at Ochar Mohalla on the outskirts of Bagh City. A child survived the landslide.<\/p>\n

7. Multiple landslides in Murree in Pakistan<\/h5>\n

Reports suggest that the Murree area of Pakistan has also been very badly affected by landslides.\u00a0 Dawn reports that<\/a> “Almost half the village of Graan-Ghoe was destroyed when a landslide damaged 30 homes, and the residents have no other choice but to wait out the rain under the open sky.\u00a0 Houses were also destroyed in Potha, Sehana, Phagwari, Aloit, Sehrbagla, Masot, Dewal and Phaphril among other villages, where roads and other infrastructure worth billions of rupees was also damaged.”<\/em><\/p>\n

8. A fatal landslide at Jaglote in Gilgit<\/h5>\n

A woman was killed<\/a> in a fatal landslide at Jaglote.\u00a0 Pamir Times reports that: “huge boulders fell from a nearby mountain hitting several houses and cattle sheds.

Three houses were damaged<\/span>.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
