Baramulla, Jun 21: A sudden cloudburst coupled with heavy rainfall triggered flash floods in the Kandi area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Sunday afternoon, causing panic among residents as water levels in nearby streams and nallahs rose rapidly. The heavy downpour caused a sharp increase in the water level of the Nallah Ningli, one of the longest water channels in the area, raising concerns among dozens of villages situated along its banks. Locals have been closely monitoring the situation, fearing that continued rise in the water level could lead to damage to residential houses and agricultural land.
