Heavy rains swept through Jammu on Sunday, causing significant disruption to daily life and prompting safety concerns. An abandoned house at Shaheedi Chowk collapsed, killing its occupants and damaging their possessions. The structure had been vacant for a few months following structural issues that forced the original owners to move to a rented home.
Heavy rainfall caused widespread waterlogging in various parts of the city, including areas like Tallab Tillo, Bagwati Nagar, Krishna Nagar and Canal Road. Residents expressed frustration over recurring flooding, urging authorities to address drainage issues and identify unsafe buildings. Waterlogging also led to traffic disruptions, particularly on national highways.
