Rajouri woke up to major flash floods on Sunday after heavy overnight rain.
Rivers burst their banks, flooding neighborhoods like Bela Colony and Abdullah Bridge, and even breaking through a flood protection wall.
Homes and property took a big hit as water rushed in.
Over 50 families evacuated in Rajouri
Authorities jumped into action with urgent evacuations: more than 50 families living near the rivers had to leave fast.
Rescue teams and police worked through the chaos, moving people from danger zones around Abdullah and Tariq Bridges.
