After the heavy rains in the Kashmir region of India, the floods have caused great loss of human wealth. According to the local administration, at least 34 people have died and dozens have been injured due to the sudden cloudburst in Kishtwar district on Thursday morning.

'The news is very painful,' Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah mentioned in a statement and informed that there has been a lot of damage due to heavy rains in Kishtwar.

Efforts are on to rescue the flood-affected people. Kishtwar District Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Sharma said, 'So far we have found 34 dead bodies and 35 injured people have been rescued. Some people are still missing.' Sushil Kumar, a local resident of Atholi village near

, said in a conversation with AFP, 'I saw with my own eyes 15 dead people being brought to the hospital.'

The rescue work after the natural disaster has become very challenging, because the continuous rains after the floods have destroyed the roads.

The rescue team is finding it difficult to reach because the incident site is almost 200 km away from Srinagar.

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to the victims and said, 'All kinds of assistance will be provided to the victims in the hour of crisis.' Earlier, on August 5, Dharali village in Uttarakhand state was also devastated by floods and landslides, in which more than 70 people are suspected to have died.
