Srinagar, Aug. 29 -- Floodwaters have started to recede across the Jammu division, but rescue and relief operations remain in full swing after five days of unprecedented rain and landslides that have killed dozens and disrupted life across the region.

Teams from the Army, Air Force, NDRF, SDRF, J&K Police and other agencies are working round the clock to assist affected residents. At Ardhkuwari on the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine route, search operations continued on Thursday at the site of a massive landslide that killed 35 pilgrims earlier this week. No additional bodies have been recovered so far, officials said. Pilgrimage to the shrine will remain suspended for at least three more days.
