Heavy Rains Wreak Havoc in Uttarakhand: Multiple Casualties and Destruction

Heavy rains in Uttarakhand caused widespread destruction and multiple casualties, particularly in the Haridwar district, where a house collapsed, killing three. Other areas, including Tehri and Dehradun, also faced severe flooding and damage. The Chief Minister is actively monitoring the situation and has instructed disaster response teams to be on high alert.

Three individuals lost their lives and at least six were injured after a house collapsed in Haridwar district, as relentless rain caused widespread destruction in Uttarakhand on Wednesday evening.

In the Ghansali area of Tehri district, a family went missing following a cloudburst, officials reported. Heavy rain also led to the collapse of a house in Bharpur village near Roorkee, resulting in three fatalities and over half a dozen injuries as people were buried under the debris, according to police.

The injured have been hospitalized, and the sound of the collapse terrified locals, the police said. Additionally, torrential downpours inundated Haridwar, washing away a truck loaded with rations in the Sukhi river in Kharkhari. Roads across the city were submerged, affecting numerous colonies, markets, and the Kankhal police station.
