Kashmir flood: Water level decreases, situation under control
However, according to the Irrigation and Flood Control Department, the water level of Jhelum river is still marginally above the flood mark at Ram Munshibagh in Srinagar, while the water level at Sangam in Anantnag has fallen below the danger mark.
Water levels in all the tributaries of the river in Jammu and Kashmir have come down and the overall flood threat faced by the people in the valley is now over, the department said.
In view of the improvement in weather, the University of Kashmir has announced that all exams scheduled for Saturday would be held as per the announced date sheet.
However, educational institutions will remain shut in the valley till Monday.
Incessant rains in Jammu and Kashmir have left four people dead while five others have gone missing. The authorities declared flood in the valley on Friday.
