Jammu, Jul 20: Se-ven shops were damag-ed on Monday due to land subsidence triggered by heavy rains along the J-ammu-Srinagar Natio-nal Highway in Udham-pur district, officials said.
Heavy rains also triggered flash floods in the upper Kither-Narsu belt of Udhampur, resulting in land subsidence along the highway, they said. Seven shops, including a restaurant, were damaged in the incident, they said, adding, locals and police immediately swung into action and removed debris from the damaged structures.
Cracks have developed across nearly four acres of land along the highway, threatening other structures in the area, officials said.
