Mirpur Division Struggles Amid Third Day Rainfall

Azad Jammu Kashmir, particularly the Mirpur division, has been hit by heavy rainfall for the third consecutive day, causing disruptions in daily life. The plains experienced heavy rainfall while the higher reaches of Neelam and Leepa valleys saw snowfall, exacerbating the situation. The state capital Muzaffarabad and Rawalakot Mirpur divisions faced intermittent heavy rains, leading to power outages, road closures, and communication system failures.

The city of Mirpur bore the brunt of torrential downpours and strong winds, making conditions even more challenging for residents. The late winter showers have brought a chill to the air, prompting people to bundle up in heavy clothing. Mud houses in various areas have been severely impacted, with the community bearing the brunt of the ongoing heavy downpour across AJK.

Weather forecasts suggest that the wet spell is expected to persist for the next 24 hours, raising concerns about further disruptions and potential damage to property and infrastructure. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation to mitigate the impact of the adverse weather conditions on the region.
