Srinagar, Sept. 6 -- The flood situation improved in Kashmir on Friday as water levels of River Jhelum and its tributaries came down owing to two days of dry weather conditions.

Though thousands have been affected and evacuated due to the floods particularly in low-lying areas across Anantnag, Kulgam, Pulwama and Srinagar districts, the further flood threat has abated with water level of Jhelum in Sangam Anantnag in South Kashmir, coming well below the warning level.

In Ram Munshi Bagh in Srinagar, Jhelum's water level came down by around 3 feet but is still above the alert level of 18 feet.
