The aftermath of flash floods in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi has seen roughly 150 people rescued, though 11 army troops remain missing. Difficult weather conditions continue to impede operations, hampering rescue efforts in the region.
Meanwhile, in Himachal Pradesh, 413 pilgrims were successfully rescued from the Kinnaur Kailash Yatra route, thanks to the efforts of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police who utilized a rope-based traverse technique over washed-away paths.
Deputy Inspector General (Operations), Mohsen Shahedi, highlighted the challenges faced due to blocked routes and landslides. Despite setbacks, the NDRF, army, ITBP, and SDRF continue their relentless efforts to reach those in need of rescue assistance.
