Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday assured Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra of all possible central help to deal with the flood situation in the state, officials said.

During a telephonic conversation with the Governor, the Home Minister enquired about the flood situation in certain parts of Jammu and Kashmir.

Singh assured all possible support and cooperation to the state in dealing with the situation, a Home Ministry official said.

Yesterday, a flood alert was sounded in central Kashmir and in the state’s Jammu region, three people died in rain-related incidents.

Srinagar-bound traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar Highway was suspended due to the lurking threat of floods in the Valley, leaving hundreds of commuters stranded.

The Amarnath Yatra was halted again as both the Pahalgam and Baltal routes had become slippery because of the rain, a spokesperson of the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board had said.
