UDHAMPUR, Aug 1: Several houses in Trilla Village of Udhampur district in Jammu and Kashmir were severely damaged following heavy torrential rains that lashed the region.
Sharda Devi, a resident of the village, shared her ordeal after her house completely collapsed.
She said, “Our house has completely collapsed. Now, where will we keep our children? The place where we kept our belongings also has cracks. First, one wall fell, then another.”
Pawan Kumar, Sharda Devi’s son, whose house was reduced to rubble, urged the government to provide urgent relief.
“My house collapsed due to heavy rain. Please help us as much as you can and provide us with a place to live. We demand that the government give us accommodation, and until then, tents should be arranged for us,” he said.
He added that the damage was not limited to his family alone. “Because of the heavy rain, 3-4 more houses also fell in our village,” he said, highlighting the scale of destruction caused by the ongoing monsoon in the hilly district.
