Ground Zero Report on residents in fear as water level increasing after torrential rains in JK's Bhaderwah, Highway, Schools closed Slug-0209ZS_BHD_RAIN_FEAR_R By Raja Rehber Jamal Location-Bhaderwah VO: Following predictions by the Meteorological Department, Bhaderwah and other areas of Chenab Valley have been witnessing torrential rains since early morning, leading to a sharp rise in the water levels of rivers and nallahs. The situation has reignited fear among residents, who recall the recent devastating spells of weather. Authorities have issued an advisory urging people to remain indoors and avoid venturing near water bodies, warning that the next 24 hours will be crucial. In view of the IMD advisory and prevailing weather conditions, the Bhaderwah administration has ordered closure of the Bhaderwah–Chamba Interstate Highway until further notice. The Neeru River, Halian Nallah, and several other streams are flowing above normal levels. Continuous downpours have also triggered landslides in hilly belts, forcing the closure of all government and private schools across Chenab Valley today. ADC Bhaderwah, Sunil Kumar Bhutiyal, said, “We are monitoring the situation closely. Control rooms are active, and all departments are on alert to respond quickly to any emergency.” Rescue and response teams remain on standby, while authorities have urged citizens, particularly those in vulnerable areas, to stay cautious and avoid unstable slopes and swollen water bodies.
