Authorities have launched a search operation after a woman jumped into the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir.
A woman is reported to have jumped into the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir, prompting local officials to start a coordinated search operation. Rescue teams, including river patrol units and police divers, were dispatched to the suspected entry point shortly after the incident was reported.
The search is being conducted under challenging conditions, as the river's strong currents and cold water can hamper rescue efforts. Teams are using boats, inflatable rafts, and sonar equipment to locate any sign of the missing person.
