It's been one of the deadliest ever 0:02 August months for Jammu and Kashmir and 0:04 Ladak due to the weather fury across the 0:06 region. As many as about 25 cloud bursts 0:08 and nine landslides incidents have 0:11 resulted in deaths of at least 122 0:14 people resulting in injuries to 300 0:16 others. 0:17 [Music] 0:24 [Music] 0:31 At least 11 are dead in two cloud burst 0:34 incidents in Jammu and Kashmir on August 0:37 30th alone. 0:40 The first cloud burst incident took 0:42 place in Ramban area of Jammu division. 0:45 The second cloud burst incident occurred 0:48 at Riyasi. It's one of a series of 0:50 tragedies ripping into families and 0:53 communities leaving behind a trail of 0:56 destruction and death. 0:59 This year uh we have forecast it 1:01 abnormal precipitation especially for 1:03 northwestern Himalayan region. Having 1:05 said that uh in monthly briefings also 1:09 uh we had ensured that there will be 1:11 abnormal precipitation especially in the 1:13 month of July as well as in August. So 1:16 coming to August uh we have seen 1:18 multiple incidents of cloud blast, flash 1:21 flares and landslides and few more than 1:26 five six events of extremely heavy 1:28 rainfall events. uh and uh till now u it 1:32 has been reported from multiple sources 1:34 that almost more than 10 incidents of 1:37 cloud west have been reported from Jammu 1:39 and Kashmir and more than 18 to 20 uh 1:43 cases of flash floods and cloud west 1:45 both minor and few major are reported 1:48 from Ladak region. uh from Ladak region 1:51 there were no reports of any deaths till 1:53 now apart from minor uh damage to 1:57 agriculture and horiculture crops and 1:58 some damage to uh properties. 2:01 uh but here in contrary to Ladak in 2:03 Jammu and Kashmir uh we have seen uh 2:07 more deaths especially more than 100 uh 2:10 due to multi-hazard multi-hazards like 2:13 uh cloud blast, flash flares, landslides 2:15 even drowning incidents. Uh 2:20 take a look at this deadly list all in 2:22 August. Kishtaw on August 14, Kutwa on 2:26 August 17, Dora August 26th, Riasi 2:30 August 27, Sonmar August 28 and Rajgard 2:35 on the 30th of August. 2:38 These disasters have wrecked havoc on 2:40 infrastructure, disrupted pilgrimages 2:43 like the Vashno Dvi and Mata Machel 2:46 Yatra and crippled local economies 2:49 reliant on tourism. 2:53 Rural areas have also reported 2:55 significant losses of livestock and 2:58 agricultural fields. 3:00 Major highways including the Jammu 3:02 Shinagar, Katr Shiv Kori and Shinagar 3:06 Ladak routts have faced disruptions 3:08 compounding the regional challenges. 3:11 Experts give a scientific reason for a 3:13 surge in cloud burst and rain havoc in 3:16 the region. 3:18 There are multiple 3:20 reasons uh for cloud burst. Uh first one 3:23 is uh when you have active monsoon uh 3:26 active monsoon we mean uh uh 3:28 strengthening of eststeries which are 3:30 moist and warm and that uh strengthen 3:33 yeah that blows towards uh uh Himalayan 3:36 region and secondly whenever there is 3:38 interaction of monsoon and uh western 3:41 disturbance at that time also we are uh 3:44 experiencing copious amount of 3:46 precipitation and recent event of 25th 3:49 26th August were Jammu region was 3:52 because of interaction of western 3:53 distance in southwest southwestern uh 3:56 southwest monsoon. So these are two 3:59 important weather uh wise sonoptic 4:01 situations. Apart from this uh orography 4:05 also plays an important role uh because 4:07 it uh helps in rapid cooling 4:09 condensation 4:11 and then again uh the intensity of rain 4:15 and this all depends upon height and 4:17 orography also. And then next uh in the 4:20 context of climate change uh this 4:23 temperature and rising temperature 4:25 trends are acting as a trigger uh for 4:28 this cloud bust event. 4:29 The Met Office has forecast heavy rain 4:31 for the week ahead in Jammu, Riyasi, 4:34 Udampur and the Chinab Valley. It says 4:37 people have to be on extremely high 4:39 alert at least till the 3rd of 4:42 September. 4:44 Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed one of 4:46 the worst monsoon seasons this year with 4:50 over 122 deaths and around 300 people 4:55 injured in the incidents of cloud burst, 4:59 flash floods, mudslides and landslides. 5:02 The Met department says it's not over 5:05 yet. Next two weeks are very crucial for 5:08 the people of Jammu and Kashmir 5:10 especially the ones who are living in 5:12 the higher reaches. The Met has 5:14 predicted that for the next 24 hours 5:18 there are going to be more intense 5:20 showers and incidents of cloud burst 5:23 especially in the Jamu division with 5:26 video journalist Fio Idri Sloan for V on 5:28 World is one. 5:31 [Music] 1.Relentless cloudbursts and landslides in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh have claimed at least 122 lives in August, with over 70 people still missing. The extreme weather has devastated the himalayan region, disrupting life, travel, and communication.

A tin 1:51 shed slid down and hit me here. It threw 1:53 me back. Then a large boulder came 1:56 rolling down and at 10 to 12 of us got 1:58 trapped under it. 2:07 Quick response rescue teams rushed to 2:09 the affected areas in the Union 2:10 territory. Communication lines for 2:12 millions were cut off. There was 2:15 widespread damage to optical fibers of 2:17 all service providers. 2:21 Intense rains left the Tawi and Chinab 2:23 rivers overflowing well beyond their 2:26 danger levels. Cave-ins on the Tawi 2:28 bridge left cars teetering, panic, and 2:31 chaos grabbing center stage. 2:37 In Doda district, rising waters of the 2:39 Chennab River brought the Dota Bridge 2:41 under severe threat, sparking fears of 2:43 structural damage. Across the district, 2:46 road connectivity was disrupted due to 2:48 landslides and falling boulders which 2:51 cut off many villages. 2:53 Several flights were affected due to 2:55 poor visibility. Dozens of trains were 2:57 cancelled. 2:59 It started to flood from 3:00 a.m. At 3:02 least four houses have been washed away 3:04 today. Yesterday, seven houses were 3:07 washed away. Till now around 20 houses 3:10 have been washed away. 3:14 Authorities deployed vehicles with 3:16 loudspeakers to warn residents against 3:18 venturing near water bodies, appealing 3:20 to people to remain indoors. 3:23 We have rescued almost all those living 3:25 nearby the Chennab River. If anyone is 3:28 left out, we appeal that they leave as 3:30 soon as possible to higher grounds. To 3:32 the people of Dota City, Bedwa, and 3:35 Kishwar, we request them not to leave 3:37 their houses under any circumstances. 3:41 A few days earlier on the 24th of 3:43 August, a bridge over the Sahar Khad 3:45 River near the Jamu Patan Court National 3:47 Highway in Katwa district was ravaged by 3:50 currents from the river below. 3:55 At least 60 people have been killed in 3:57 Jammu and Kashmir in August due to the 3:59 floods. 4:08 On the 23rd of August, heavy rain 4:10 followed by a mudslide hit the Tarali 4:13 towel of Chamoli district in Uttarakand. 4:17 And this was one of a series of 4:19 landslide incidents across the state 4:21 including Dharali village in Uttar 4:23 Kashi. 4:29 [Music] 4:32 In Himachal Pradesh 2, incessant 4:34 rainfall has wreaked havoc. The Bas 4:36 River here is swollen well above the 4:38 danger mark. Infrastructure has taken a 4:41 major hit. 4:46 In Kulu district alone, 130 roads have 4:49 been closed due to damage. Connectivity 4:52 has been severely affected. 5:02 In Arunachala Pradesh, a landslide 5:04 struck the Balipara Charitar Tawang 5:07 National Highway in Birang. Visuals show 5:10 boulders rolling down hills, hitting 5:12 vehicles as people run in panic to save 5:15 themselves. 5:20 Scientists and weather forecasters have 5:22 pinned the blame for floods and 5:23 landslides in recent years on climate 5:25 change. Year after year, a disaster 5:28 happens during the monsoon season.
