Severe weather conditions, marked by incessant rains and cloudbursts, have led to catastrophic landslides in Uttarakhand, particularly impacting Chamoli, Rudraprayag, and Tehri districts. Houses and infrastructure have been significantly damaged, with several residents reported missing under the debris.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has assured that relief and rescue efforts are being conducted urgently. However, challenges persist as river levels continue to rise, leading to fears of further flooding and landslides.
The ongoing monsoon season has brought significant hardship to the region, exacerbated by blocked highways and devastated agricultural lands. Authorities are cautioning residents and travelers to remain vigilant and informed as they manage this crisis.
