Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami is chairing a disaster management meeting at the Uttarakhand Emergency Operations Centre in Dehradun following a significant natural calamity. The situation has sparked comparisons to the 2013 tragedy, though the affected area is currently smaller. Hostile weather conditions, including rain and a red alert for Uttarkashi, are complicating rescue efforts. Agencies including the Air Force, NDRF, SDRF, and Army are mobilised, with helicopters like Chinook, Dhruva, Cheetah, and Mi-17 on standby for operations and medical transfers to AIIMS Rishikesh. The Kheer Ganga river has consumed a village, and rescue teams face challenges from landslides and lack of electricity. "This is a race against time" for rescue operations, with a 24-hour window for maximum impact. Questions are being raised regarding forward planning and IMD advisories.
