Chisoti (JK), Aug 17: Amid overcast conditions, the search operation to trace those missing in the cloudburst in this remote village of Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Kishtwar district entered the fourth day on Sunday with rescuers hopeful of clearing a major impact spot during the day, officials said.
\nArmy engineers, meanwhile, have started working on a bailey bridge to restore connectivity to the village and the Machail Mata shrine and further intensify the rescue efforts.
\nCloudburst struck Chisoti, the last motorable village en route to the Machail Mata temple, on August 14, killing 60 persons and leaving 80 others missing, while 167 persons were rescued in an injured condition.
\nThe flash-floods triggered by the cloudburst left a trail of destruction, flattening a makeshift market, a langar (community kitchen) site for the yatra, damaging 16 houses and government buildings, three temples, four water mills, a 30-metre-long bridge, besides over a dozen vehicles.
\nGiant boulders were also left scattered at various spots, especially around the worst-hit langar site and some of them hampering the search were blasted in a controlled explosion by the rescuers on Saturday evening.
\nThe officials said the joint teams of police, army, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), Border Roads Organisation (BRO), civil administration, and local volunteers are continuing the rescue efforts.
\nSo far, 50 bodies have been identified and handed over to their next of kin after completion of legal formalities.
\nGeneral Officer Commanding of the army\u2019s counter-insurgency Delta Force Maj Gen A P S Bal said army engineers have conducted a survey of the area after a need for the bridge was felt.
\n\u201cWe need a 17-metre bridge which will be installed to facilitate smooth movement across the river,\u201d the officer said, adding the structure will be completed by Sunday evening.
\nHe said the army responded to the disaster within 45 minutes after getting the information.
\n\u201cWe are here because of the people. As you know, our country\u2019s policy nowadays is the whole of nation approach. So, if there is any security issue, not just physical security, but all kinds of security has to be provided, the whole of nation approach has to be followed,\u201d he said.
\nHe said all the security forces deployed are trying their best to help as many people as possible.
\n\u201cBesides saving lives, we also tried to provide them with medicine, food, and all kinds of things that we could provide,\u201d he said.
\nThe annual Machail Mata yatra, which began on July 25 and was scheduled to conclude on September 5, remained suspended for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday.
\nThe 8.5-km trek to the 9,500-foot-high shrine starts from Chisoti, located about 90 km from Kishtwar town.
\nThe rescuers are utilising over a dozen earth-movers and other heavy equipment.<\/p>\n
