Jammu, August 26, 2025 — The 4th Tawi Bridge at Bhagwati Nagar in Jammu has suffered substantial damage following continuous heavy rainfall and flooding in the region. The relentless downpour over the past days has caused the Tawi River’s water levels to rise above the danger mark, resulting in flood fury that battered the bridge structure.
Authorities on site have reported damage severe enough to affect several vehicles on the bridge, with rescue and relief efforts underway to assist those impacted. Traffic along this critical bridge and adjoining routes has been disrupted, causing significant inconvenience to commuters and emergency services.
This incident adds to the widespread damage in the Jammu region, where heavy rains have also caused landslides, collapsed bridges on other highways including the Jammu-Pathankot National Highway, and flooding that has submerged many low-lying areas. The local administration has suspended traffic on several key routes as a precaution. Schools and recruitment drives have also been postponed due to the inclement weather.
Officials are closely monitoring the situation, and emergency response teams have been deployed to manage the ongoing crisis. The exact extent of damage and recovery plans for the bridge are expected to be assessed in the coming days. Citizens are urged to stay cautious and avoid flooded and landslide-prone areas.
