The physical features of the india is much different from the other countries in the world.It has world Largest delta that is (The Ganga and Brahmaputra) which Covers atleast 60% of alluvial soils.The change in the climate Has resulted in increasing land slides and deadly floods.India Received plenty of rain during monsoon season which is The backbone of indian agriculture sectors.But from last 10-15 Years this monsoon has turned into demon and resulted In heavy floods and mass destruction the recent example Is the floods in Assam and Bihar ,where this natural activity create Havoc and not only killed people but also disturb the ecosystem of The said states .Jammu and kashmir had witnessed the drought from Past three months but inlast three days J&K is under shades of heavy Floods.The J&K UTs is the crown of the india and have a Different physical features from the rest of the country.

The Indus tributaries like the jhelum and chenab passed through the Himalayan region and during monsoon rains due to the additional of the water These tributaries always breaches the dangerous mark .If we talk about jammu particularly The jammu Tawi river during the monsoon rains always make people suffer due to addition of water from Himalaya’or Glacier. As mention earlier from the past three days due to continuous raining in the jammu region the jammu Tawi river has breached the dangerous marks. The reason behind this is both natural and man made activities,The encroachment on the bank of river blocked the path of water the newly builted houses without proper inspection resulted in the threat to the lives. The three hours rain take the shape of floods because there is no proper drainage system the ground water lashes bridges and roads resulted in the breakdown of contact between villages and cities .Due to covid-19 crisis people will suffer more when the daily necessities will not be available .

The role of administration is much important in these circumstances we are leaving in the era of Technology where we have so many options to get detailed information of upcoming weather forecast. The MDI(metrological Department of India) should prepare and let the people know about any natural calamitic activities. JMC( jammu muncipal committee) should re-thinking and work on this desolated drainage system. They should go for the anti-encroachment activities and strictly dealt with the violators.As we see every year The J&K police, administration and Indian army rescued so many people that were struct in the floods but we need Equal help from other Departments as well. Those who had lost their properties and their loved ones due to these natural calamities, the administration should do a detailed survey in every District and assured them compensation under various Govt.schemes So, that they will not feel alienated from the rest of people .people have to cooperate with the administration in near future.The JMC must prepared themselves before the season of monsoon, they must clean the drainage system look over the encroachment and strictly deal with land mafia and aware the people about the upcoming threats .

The Environment agency should plant more and more trees.So ,that they catch rainfall and help us to take water from the soil.Felled treees can also be made in wooded areas and help Push usually high water into surrounding woodland although such schemes need very careful and planned management .The government should dredge river to remove slit which can improve general land drainage and can prevent rivers from floods due to huge volume of water involved.The government should also aware people who are living on bank of river as it is a give and take process.
