Local reports, however, said there was no loss of life or major structural damage. Indu Kanwal Chib said the number of damaged structures may increase as revenue teams continue assessment and case registration, but no major damage has been reported yet. Power supply was affected in parts of Sumbal due to damage to lines from the Pattan side, with restoration work underway. Snow clearance is being carried out by the MED department. Bottlenecks at some locations were cleared after being reported.
