The Story in Brief
Two persons were swept away in a ravine in Ramnagar area of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. OdishaTV reports that the local Tehsildar and the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) teams have been deployed to the spot for rescue operations.
The incident occurred in the Udhampur district. Authorities have launched a search operation to locate the missing individuals. Further details are awaited as rescue efforts continue.
The Indian Opinion
Flash floods and ravines in J&K claim lives every year, yet local disaster preparedness remains patchy. The narrative often blames only nature or delayed response. While the SDRF and Tehsildar reached quickly this time, the real test is whether systematic early warning systems and permanent barrier fencing are in place. How many such tragedies must occur before infrastructure matches monsoon fury? This is not a question of rescue alone; it is one of prevention, which requires sustained investment, not just seasonal alarm.
