In the hours after the cloudburst, Ramban saw torrential rain that lasted overnight. The already weakened soil structures in the area gave way, resulting in fresh landslides and mudslides between Nashri and Banihal across the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. Rescue teams continue to comb through the rubble left behind by the elements in Ranban.
Locals have come forward to assist the the NDRF, SDRF, Army to search and rescue for nearly 100 people who are deemed missing still. Authorities have said the search and relief operations will continue until all affected residents are accounted for.

While the cloudburst itself was fatal, the continued violent weather over the past few days has reduced the Ramban district to rubble.
There is widespread damage to infrastructure and private property, and several bridges and culverts in the region have been damaged. Snapped communication lines and blocked roads have left several remote villages cut off. Apart from the infrastructure, the residents of Ramban’s homes and private property has been completely destroyed, or damaged beyond hope.
““At least ten houses were destroyed, and another 25 to 30 structures have sustained partial damage. The full extent of the damage is being assessed,” a senior official reportedly told Kashmir Life, a local news portal.
