The central government is closely monitoring rescue operations underway in Uttarakhand. The Home Minister has met with Members of Parliament from Uttarakhand and is personally overseeing the situation, ensuring immediate central government assistance reaches Uttarkashi. A team of NDRF and 80 army personnel are headed to Uttarakhand, with four army choppers on standby. The biggest challenge for rescue teams is reaching the affected spot due to accumulated silt and slush. Hostile weather conditions, including an orange alert for constant rainfall, pose a significant obstacle. Choppers like Chinook, ALH, and B-17 are on standby at various airbases. Water accumulation in areas like Harsil, where a river is turning into a lake, adds to the difficulties. Agencies are working through the night to identify affected areas and move machinery. Warnings have been issued for people to avoid Bhagirathi river areas due to potential water level rise. Agencies are prioritizing finding missing people and evacuating those in low-lying areas. Boots on the ground from NDRF, SDRF, Army, and Air Force are being dispatched. #uttarakhandnews #uttarkashicloudburst #rescueoperations #itwebvideos #centralgovernment #homeminister #ndrf #indianarmy #weatherchallenge #rainfall #missingpersons #evacuation #disasterrelief #indiatoday #bhagirathiriver #harsil #sdrf #airforce
