He urged locals not to step out needlessly.
“It has been raining continuously. The Doda-Kishtwar road was damaged on account of severe rainfall. However, the damaged stretch has now been repaired and traffic restored. As of now, there is no information about any casualty in the rains. I urge people not to step out of their houses unnecessarily,” said Qayoom.
