Kargil, August 13: A sudden high-intensity rainfall struck Khawos Charkat Nalla on 12 August 2025 at around 5:00 PM, following a sharp rise in temperature in the region.
Acting on the directions of Deputy Commissioner, Kargil, Rakesh Kumar (IAS), SDM Sankoo, along with officials from various departments, rushed to the affected site to assess the damage and initiate immediate relief measures.
Upon inspection, it was found that the main link road to Khawos was blocked by debris, with a significant portion of private land buried under mud, boulders, and uprooted trees. Irrigation channels in the area also sustained severe damage.
Treating the matter as a priority, the SDM deployed heavy machinery from the Mechanical Department, PMGSY, private agencies, and Topline to clear the rubble and restore connectivity. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of government departments, agencies, and local volunteers, the road was made motorable by 2:00 AM the same night.
Hon’ble Councillor Parkachik lauded the Deputy Commissioner, the SDM, and all supporting agencies and volunteers for their quick and efficient handling of the situation.
The SDM has directed all concerned departments to conduct a thorough damage assessment and submit their reports promptly to the SDM’s office.
