Disturbing news emerged from Uttarakhand following a massive flash flood in the Dharali area near Harsil. One junior commissioned officer and ten soldiers of the Indian Army are reported missing. An army camp was directly impacted by a cloudburst and subsequent flash floods. Despite this, the commanding officer of the unit and soldiers from the 14th Battalion of the Rajputana Rifles are actively engaged in relief and rescue operations. So far, 80 people have been evacuated. Rescue efforts continue amidst ongoing rainfall and harsh weather conditions, with teams facing difficulties due to landslides. Experts note that "the frequency of such high intensity rainfalls, cloudbursts is increasing. And climate change, extreme weather events, this has become the new normal." The situation presents a dual challenge for forces, with concerns about the fragile Himalayan region and the increasing intensity of extreme weather events.
