Heavy Rainfall In Uttarakhand
Heavy rainfall has caused severe waterlogging in various parts of Haridwar on Tuesday. Due to the rising water level of the Ganga River, police appeal to people to stay away from the ghats and exercise caution.
Meanwhile, Uttarakhand on Tuesday witnessed a massive cloudburst in Uttarkashi district, triggering flash flood situation. The disaster has so far claimed four lives. At least 130 people were rescued as authorities swung into action despite unfavourable weather conditions and incessant rain in the region.
Two cloudbursts, one in Dharali and another in the Sukhi Top area, caused widespread destruction, with Dharali bearing the brunt.
Rescue and relief efforts are ongoing, led by the Indian Army, Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF).
Over 130 people have been rescued so far, according to the Uttarakhand government officials. The State Emergency Operation Centre is in constant touch with the District Magistrate and SSP.
The weather department has issued warnings for heavy rainfall across the state, especially in the hill districts.
