One girl was killed, at least four others seriously injured and several vehicles washed away when a cloudburst struck the Srinagar-Leh highway near Sonamarg in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday evening, reports said.
A cloudburst is an extreme amount of precipitation, sometimes accompanied by hail and thunder, that normally lasts no longer than a few minutes but is capable of creating flood-like conditions.
On Sunday, two boys of a family died and two others went missing when a cloudburst struck Pahalgam area of South Kashmir’s Islamabad district.
