KISHTWAR: The Indian Air Force is set to take part in relief and rescue operations for victims of the recent cloudburst in Kishtwar, sources said.<\/p>\n

At present, two Mi-17 helicopters and one Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) are on standby at Jammu and Udhampur. Operations will commence as soon as the weather becomes favourable.<\/p>\n

Rescue operations are already underway in Kishtwar following the cloudburst on August 14 that triggered flash floods, leading to the loss of over 45 lives. The local community and J&K Police are providing urgent relief, shelter, and medical assistance to the injured.<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is also set to leave for Kishtwar on Friday to assess the damage caused by a massive cloudburst and oversee the ongoing rescue operations. Abdullah noted that he aims to review the relief efforts firsthand and determine the further assistance needed for those affected.<\/p>\n

CM Omar Abdullah also announced his visit to the affected site through X, stating that he will leave for Kishtwar on Friday and visit the area hit by the cloudburst on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Abdullah posted on his X about the visit, saying, \u201cI\u2019ll be leaving for Kishtwar later this afternoon & will be going to the scene of the cloud burst tragedy early tomorrow morning to see, first hand, the extent of the damage. I will review the rescue operation & assess what further help is required.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victims of the incident who are now being treated at the district hospital recounted their harrowing experiences of being buried and narrowly escaping death.<\/p>\n
