A family member of one of the victims that got swept away, speaks with India Today and laments the fact that he’s not able to reach the village to look for his loved ones.
Name Avatar Singh Panwar, Six family members are Un contactable.
The report details the aftermath of flash floods in Uttarkashi, specifically impacting Dharali village. A deluge of mud, gravel, and silt engulfed the area, causing widespread devastation. Rescue operations face significant challenges due to damaged infrastructure, including the National Highway Tugamgo 3 and other roads, which are cut off at multiple points. Heavy machinery movement is a struggle, and rescue workers navigate through forests. Helicopters are airlifting stranded individuals, including soldiers and civilians, to ITBP and District Hospitals for treatment. Three locations, Dharali, Harsil, and Sukhi top, were hit, with roads caved in at Bhatwari and Gangwani, and a bridge washed away. The cause of the flash floods remains unclear, with Met officials ruling out cloudbursts. Experts suggest a glacier breach or lake breach could be the reason. Villagers are awaiting news from loved ones due to lost internet connectivity.
