A devastating tragedy has struck Uttarkashi, wiping out Dharali village. Initially attributed to a cloudburst, data showing minimal rainfall has led experts to question this theory. The focus has now shifted to a more alarming possibility: a glacial collapse or a glacial lake outburst flood, with satellite data confirming glacial lakes above the site. The Indian Army has launched a major relief operation with over 225 personnel, but rescue efforts are severely hampered as the region is completely cut off by road. A reporter at the scene described the event: "It was death, basically, that came down the mountains in form of mud, water and sludge and engulfed an entire village." Experts on the program discussed how climate change and extensive construction, like the Char Dham project which has been criticized for its ecological impact, are contributing factors to such repeated disasters in the Himalayas. #uttarkashi #uttarakhanddisaster #dharali #itwebvideos #harsil #himalayantragedy #glacialmelt #flashflood #climatechange #indianarmy #rescueoperation #indiatoday #naturaldisaster #prayforuttarakhand #ndrf #sdrf
