"The death toll from the heaviest rain to fall on Kashmir in 50 years rose to more than 400 on Tuesday, with thousands still trapped on rooftops and residents criticizing Indian and Pakistani authorities for not doing enough to help them.
On the Indian side of the heavily militarized Line of Control that divides the Himalayan region, the city of Srinagar lay submerged along with more than 2,000 villages.
'The damage is shocking,' a senior official from India's National Disaster Response Force said in New Delhi. 'People have been stranded on the rooftops of their homes for the last three days in some parts of Kashmir.'"
