    The landslide occurred on Tuesday evening on the Brarimarg-Railpatgri area triggered due to rains.

    "The identities of the victims were being ascertained," the police said.
     
     
    Flash floods had also hit the Baltal base camp on Tuesday, but there was no casualty as water remained confined to the parking lot of the camp without affecting its main area.

    The MET department has forecast rains on Wednesday on both the Pahalgam and Baltal treks leading to the cave shrine.
