Srinagar, July 21: The Meteorological Centre Srinagar on Monday issued a weather advisory predicting widespread heavy rainfall accompanied by gusty winds across Jammu and Kashmir from July 21 to 24.
According to the advisory, the intense downpours may trigger flash floods, landslides, and shooting stones, particularly in hilly and vulnerable areas.
The department also warned that the heavy rains could lead to a sharp rise in water levels in rivers, streams, and nallahs, increasing the risk of flash flooding in several regions.
Authorities have urged residents, especially those in flood-prone and slide-prone zones, to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel during the forecast period.
