"The overall flood threat faced by the people in the valley over the last few days is over," he said.
The official, however, added that the field staff of the department shall continue to remain in high alert till temporary breaches and seepage at some places in the river and stream embankments were plugged.
The University of Kashmir has announced that all exams scheduled for Saturday would be held as per the announced date sheet.Educational institutions will, however, continue to remain closed in the valley till Monday.
