Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, around 10,000 people have been evacuated from affected areas in Budgam measure following a breach in the Jhelum embankment.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, this was confirmed by Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Anshul Garg, on Thursday. He also urged people not to panic, assuring that the situation is under control as water level is receding.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome areas of Budgam were inundated, but as a precautionary measure, we carried out evacuations last night itself. Around 9,000 people were safely shifted to avoid any loss of life,\u201d Garg said. However, dozens were evacuated later on.<\/p>\n

The Divisional Commissioner said weather conditions have improved since last night and water level at key spots including Sangam and Ram Munshi Bagh are gradually decreasing.<\/p>\n

He added that preventive evacuations are also being carried out in parts of Srinagar, especially low-lying areas like Lasjan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
