Srinagar, Apr 8 (IBNS): The flood threat, which looming over the Kashmir Valley, has ended with the decrease in water level after four days on Saturday, an official said.

However, according to the Irrigation and Flood Control Department, water level of Jhelum River is still marginally above the flood mark at Ram Munshibagh in Srinagar, while water level at Sangam in Anantnag has fallen below the danger level.

Water level in all the tributaries of the river in Jammu and Kashmir has come down, and overall flood threat faced by the people in the valley over the last few days is over, the department said.

In view of weather improvement, University of Kashmir has announced that all exams scheduled for Saturday would be held as per the announced date sheet.

However, educational institutions will continue to remain closed in the valley till Monday.

Due to incessant rains in Jammu and Kashmir, four persons were killed and five others went missing, as authorities declared flood in the valley on Friday.
