Srinagar, Sept. 7 -- Incessant light rains lashed across Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday raising fears among people who have already been reeling in the aftermath of the floods of September 4.

Although, the water level of River Jhelum was receding in Sangam and Srinagar owing to three days of dry weather but the fresh rainfall in valley prompted an increase of water levels in upper tributaries of the river in south Kashmir like Vishow Nallah in Kulgam and Lidder, Romshi and Aru in Ananatnag district.

In north Kashmir, the water level of Wular Lake has kept on increasing slowly despite three days of halt in rains. The lake has reached a level of 1577.600 m (at 5pm) and is close to cross the flood alert level of 1577.750 m.
