Braving intermittent rains, rescuers intensified their search for survivors in a cloudburst-hit village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district on Friday, even as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah put the death toll in the tragic incident at 60, with an unspecified number of people still trapped.

Disaster struck Chisoti, the last motorable village on the way to the Machail Mata temple, around 12.25 pm on Thursday, leaving a trail of death and destruction.

Rescuers pulled out 46 bodies, including those of two CISF personnel, on Thursday. In addition, 167 people have been rescued in an injured condition, while 69 others were reported missing by their relatives.
