Locals told The Kashmiriyat that around 2 AM on Thursday, a landslide hit Shalmachi Yarikhah area of the Noorabad area in Kulgam creating panic among the locals.
They said that one residential house was damaged and three shops also suffered damage during the landslide. “The shops belonged to Fayaz Ahmed and Abdul Majeed Hajam, both local residents,” they said.
