Monday's Rainawari land sinking is the third such incident in Jammu and Kashmir this year, following subsidence events in Ramban and Udhampur. 

Ramban DC says land started subsiding from Wednesday, prompting closure of the Ramban-Gool road. However, the alternate Digdol-Sumbal-Sangaldan-Gool road was open as were railway lines, “so connectivity was not an issue."
