In Jammu & Kashmir, with improvement in weather, relief and rescue operation across the flood ravaged Jammu region is being carried out in full swing.

Army is assisting the civil administration to reach out to the flood affected areas. After remaining suspended for four consecutive days, the pilgrimage to Mata Vaishnodevi Shrine resumed today.

However, the Jammu-Srinagar national highways is still closed for vehicular movement.

Similarly, the train service to Katra is also at the halt. Though disruption in tele-communication has been hampering the rescue operation, yet the news that there will be no major rain fall in the next four days, has brought some respite to the people.
