Man trapped under landslide debris rescued after CRPF dog alerts personnel

A man was rescued from under the debris of a landslide by the Bomb Disposal squad checking the area in Srinagar's Ramban district. A CRPF dog gave alerting signals to BDS of 72nd battalion CRPF while they were conducting checks at the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in Ramban district. Following the cue from the dog, the troops began searching and found the man trapped in the debris of the landslide which had occurred the previous night.

Multiple landslides hit the 270-km highway at several places in Ramban and Udhampur districts following heavy overnight rains, forcing closure of the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with rest of the country.
