Couple dead, 4 hurt as boulder falls on tempo on Jammu-Srinagar NH in Ramban

A massive boulder struck a tempo on the Jammu-Srinagar highway, killing two people and injuring four others. Meanwhile, officials narrowly escaped separate landslides on the Jammu-Poonch highway. Vehicular movement on the Jammu-Srinagar highway was suspended due to multiple landslides. Relentless rainfall battered the Jammu region, triggering further mudslides and shooting stones. All major pilgrimages have remained suspended in Jammu and Kashmir since July 19.
