A tragic landslide in Jammu and Kashmir claimed the life of a special police officer, Snatter Singh, as he was on duty amidst heavy rainfall that has caused significant destruction in the region. The Indian Air Force (IAF) swiftly responded by airlifting two critically injured patients from the flood-affected areas for urgent medical care. The ongoing adverse weather has led to the closure of the Jammu-Srinagar national highway for five consecutive days, hampering vital connections and suspending the pilgrimage to the Vaishno Devi shrine. This incident underscores the IAF’s crucial role in disaster response, highlighting the importance of effective coordination during emergencies.
