Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh are witnessing persistent and intense monsoon conditions. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for heavy to very heavy rainfall, with the possibility of isolated extremely heavy showers in the coming days. This relentless downpour has caused river levels to swell, resulting in cloudbursts, flash floods, landslides, and blocked roads across various parts of both states. In response, disaster management teams have been deployed in the most affected areas, and local authorities are keeping a close watch on vulnerable riverbanks and landslide-prone zones.
Earlier on Tuesday afternoon, a cloudburst in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district triggered flash floods and mudslides, ravaging Dharali village. The disaster has left at least five dead, with rescue operations underway for the many still missing.
