J-K: Jhelum crosses danger mark in Srinagar, flood alert issued

The government declared a flood situation in Kashmir earlier in the day as River Jhelum crossed the danger mark in Srinagar and Sangam with heavy rainfall lashing most parts of the state. The state administration asked people to move to higher reaches as water flooded low-lying areas of Kashmir. An avalanche warning was issued for the next 24 hours early on Monday.
