Heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding and landslides in Jammu on October 11, 2026, with the city receiving 185.6 mm of rain in three hours, leading to two fatalities. Previously, flash floods damaged the Circular Road in Rajouri district, forcing commuters onto alternative routes. The region has seen numerous cloudbursts this year, damaging public infrastructure across the Union Territory.
