Six people have died and 10 people are missing after a boat capsized in the Jhelum river in Srinagar on Tuesday, officials said. The boat overturned after the rope used to help it cross the river snapped suddenly, they added. Water levels in the river swelled after heavy rains in the region over the last few days. The boat was carrying over 20 people, mostly children. While 10 passengers have been rescued, 10 others are still missing. The state disaster relief force has launched a rescue operation for the missing passengers.
