 Patiala, July 19
 Two more breaches occurred in the Ghaggar river since last night, even as the Tangri and Markanda rivers
        criss-crossing the district flowed above the danger mark and water accumulated at  RD 460 in
        Khanauri. Four villages — Gular and Jogewal in Patiala district and
        Nawangaon and Hotipur in Sangrur district — have been affected by the
        fresh breaches.

 Jammu, July 19
 Mr Ghulam Mohiuddin Mir raised his hands to thank the Allah. He had
          seen the face of his son, Mushtaq Ahmed Mir, a conductor, after seven
          months. Tears trickled down his cheeks as the Army authorities handed
          over his son to him at the corps headquarters here today. Parents of
          Mushtaq Naik, a Class IX student of Tral in Pulwama district, had no
          words to express their happiness.
