Srinagar, July 6 (NVI): Heavy rainfall triggered a landslide near the 540 MW Kwar Hydroelectric Power Project in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district on Monday, burying several vehicles under debris, officials said.
They said multiple vehicles were trapped in the landslide, with several sustaining extensive damage. Rescue teams, assisted by heavy machinery, have been deployed to clear the debris, retrieve the affected vehicles and restore access to the area.
