Eleven years have passed since the devastating floods of 2014, but the question remains: is the valley safe now? The latest data released by the government has revealed a bigger picture regarding flood management. According to information, more than 487 crore rupees have been spent on flood control and management in Jammu and Kashmir since the 2014 disaster.According to officials of the Jal Shakti Department, this amount was spent on strengthening embankments, cleaning rivers and streams, modernizing pumping stations, and strengthening flood control infrastructure. The objective was clear: to reduce the risk of future floods and minimize damage.What changed after 2014?Following the devastating floods of September 2014, the central government formed a core group for flood management in the valley. Based on its recommendations, plans were divided into three parts—immediate, short-term, and long-term.Phase I of the Flood Management Program was approved for ₹399.29 crore, of which ₹327.04 crore has been spent. This phase included significant work such as increasing the capacity of the Jhelum River and flood spill channels.22% Increase in Jhelum CapacityAccording to government data, the safe flood carrying capacity of the Jhelum River in the Srinagar Reach has been increased from 31,800 cusecs to 41,000 cusecs. Meanwhile, the capacity of the flood spill channel in the Sharifabad and Nadihal areas of North Kashmir has been increased from 4,000 to 8,700 cusecs.Why is Phase II progressing slowly?Progress on Phase II (Part A), approved in March 2022 at a cost of ₹1,623.43 crore, is currently reported to be slower than expected. Only ₹220.97 crore has been released so far, of which ₹160.563 crore has been spent.Phase II includes 31 bank protection and anti-erosion works, of which 16 have been completed.

Funds were used for this purpose from the State Disaster Response Fund and other sources.The Big Question: Is the Valley Safe Now?Although the government claims that flood preparedness is better than before, the slow progress of Phase II raises several questions. Experts believe that if the remaining works are not completed on time, the danger could increase again in the event of future heavy rains.11 years, Rs 487 crore and many claims – but the fear of floods has not completely vanished from the minds of the people of the valley.")
