Rescuers recovered the bodies of two people killed in the flash flood in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on Sunday, Hindustan Times reports.
About 50 to 100 more are feared to be missing, PTI also reported.
A massive flood was triggered in the Dhauliganga river in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district after a glacier broke off on Sunday, endangering the lives of hundreds of people living along its banks. Massive destruction is also feared.
Because of the massive floods, an alert has been sounded in several districts, including Pauri, Tehri, Rudraprayag, Haridwar, and Dehradun.
Authorities have launched a search and rescue operation as hundreds of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel were rushed to the Raini village site.
An official of the border patrol force said that some water bodies had been flooded, and many riverbank side houses had also been destroyed, an ANI news agency reported.
