BUDHAL SEPTEMBER 04:-A tragic landslide struck the Tarn area of Budhal late last night, completely destroying the mud-built residential house-cum-cattle shed of Mohd Jamil, son of Sain Khan. Triggered by continuous rainfall, the landslide caused the structure to collapse suddenly, resulting in the death of two horses, while another was seriously injured. The impoverished family was left devastated, having lost both shelter and livestock that were central to their livelihood. Troops from CRPF 237 Battalion (BN), led by the Assistant Commandant, reached the site promptly in the early morning hours and carried out a swift rescue operation, safely evacuating all trapped family members.
Shortly after the rescue, Dr. Mohd Fareed, MTS Department of Animal Husbandry, arrived at the scene and provided on-the-spot treatment to the injured horse, ensuring timely veterinary care despite the challenging conditions. Later in the day, Senior PDP leader Farooq Inqlabi visited the affected family in Budhal Tarn and expressed his heartfelt condolences. He urged the district administration to provide immediate relief, compensation, and proper rehabilitation to the victims. Inqlabi also commended the courageous efforts of the CRPF 237 BN jawans, and stressed the urgent need for disaster preparedness, improved housing infrastructure, and a compassionate administrative approach to support vulnerable communities in hilly regions like Budhal.
