Jammu, Sep 2
As the water level of various rivers in Jammu, Udhampur, and Samba districts of J& K's Jammu division has crossed the flood alert mark, authorities on Tuesday ordered the closure of all schools in the division, including the cancellation of upcoming exams.
The Tawi River crossed the flood alert level in Udhampur, while the Basantar in Samba and Uhj in Kathua also crossed the flood alert level.
The water level in rivers and streams is expected to rise further.
In the Kashmir Valley, although rain is likely to occur, its intensity will remain lower compared to the Jammu division. The water level in the Jhelum River is likely to rise during this period.
"As of now, the water level in Jhelum and other water bodies is much below the danger mark," he said.
