Deadly Floods Hit India After Record Himalayan Rains | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Torrential rainfall has wreaked havoc across the Himalayan region, killing at least 36 people in India and forcing authorities to open major dams. The disaster triggered flood alerts in Pakistan, where overflowing rivers are threatening low-lying communities. A landslide near the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir caused 33 deaths, while hundreds of children were stranded as schools and roads flooded. Authorities are racing to restore power, water and communications amid the region’s highest rainfall since 1950. With more rain forecast, both countries remain on high alert as rising river levels pose further risk to lives and infrastructure.
