At least 33 people are confirmed dead and around 200 are missing after sudden, heavy rainfall triggered devastating floods and landslides in Indian Kashmir, officials said on Thursday.⁣ ⁣ The disaster struck Chasoti town in Kishtwar district. It comes just over a week after a massive flood and mudslide wiped out an entire village in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand.⁣ ⁣ According to the Indian Meteorological Department, the incident was caused by a cloudburst — an extreme weather event defined as a sudden, intense downpour of more than 100 mm (4 inches) of rain within an hour.⁣ ⁣ #Kashmir #Floods #Rain #Disaster #India
