Deputy Commissioner Ramban said that people stranded on the highway were rescued in the intervening night and are being provided both shelter and food.

He added that NH44 is blocked at many places and people are advised not to undertake any journey.

Deputy Commissioner also informed about power blackout in the district and said that on Saturday evening 132 KV Udhampur -Batote- Ramban powerline was down since 06:30 pm affecting distribution supply to almost all domestic transformers in Ramban district.

They further said that road from Poonch to Mendhar via Krishna Ghati also got closed on Saturday afternoon and was restored partially till late evening hours but no vehicle was allowed to move on road.
