More than 100 people are missing after Flash Flood Hit Village

More than 100 people are missing and killed at at least one after a cloudbuke triggered a disastrous flash flood in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand.

After a huge wave of water on the mountains in Dharli village on Tuesday after the rescue operation in Uttarkashi district, the roads and buildings were immersed in their way.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that about 190 people have been rescued in the affected area so far.

A cloudburst is a extreme, sudden decline of rain in a small area in a short time, which often leads to floods.

Damaged roads and heavy rains have disrupted rescue teams in an attempt to reach Dharli. Mr. Dhami flew by helicopter on Wednesday and met some affected families.

Uttarakhand, along with Uttarkashi in the week of heavy rains – Dharli village house – the worst hit by floods.

The flood occurred on Tuesday at 13:30 around India (08:00 GMT), causing dramatics to swell dramatically and crashed tons of tons under the hills.

Dharli is 2 km from a summer tourist destination, which is the house of a major Indian Army base and an Indo-Tibetan border police camp. Officials said that at least 10 soldiers posted at the army base are also missing.

Rescue efforts are slow due to heavy mud and debris, but authorities have deployed helicopters to assist in operation.

The mud has also blocked the part of the Bhagirathi river – which becomes the most sacred river Ganga in India, when it travels downwards – builds an artificial lake that submerges large areas including a government helipad.

Officials are worried that if this water does not get out quickly, it can pose a serious threat to cities and villages.

The Meteorological Department of India has estimated heavy rains and advised to avoid landslide areas. Schools have been closed in some parts of the state.

In the last few days, the authorities had issued several rain alerts, discouraging tourists from going to the region.

Dharli sees less visitors during the monsoon season. Low footfall and the possibility of warning protect tourists during deluse. The residents warned that a full crowd could turn the incident into a very worse disaster.

Uttarakhand located in the western Himalayas is highly unsafe for floods and landslides.

In 2021, more than 200 people died in flash floods, triggered by a cloudburst.

One of the worst disasters to hit Uttarakhand was in 2013, when a cloudbukes destroyed floods and landslides, which destroyed many villages and towns. A lot of disadvantage occurred in the city of Kedarnath, which is popular with Hindu pilgrims. Thousands of people were swept away, and many bodies were never recovered.
