No flood threat in Valley as of now: Flood Control Dept

Srinagar, Mar 12: Irrigation and Flood Control (I&FC) Department on Friday said that there was no threat of floods in the Valley as the major rainfall activity was recorded in north Kashmir.

A top official of Irrigation and Flood Control department told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that there is no flood threat, as most of the rainfall activity has been from north Kashmir and the gauge level in all water bodies is below normal.

“Tributaries in north Kashmir are filled with rainfall water, but there is no situation of floods in the valley,” he said.

Meanwhile, an official said that as the plains in the Valley received rainfall, the higher reaches of North Kashmir including Kupwara and Gulmarg received fresh snowfall of about 2ft and 1.5 ft respectively.
