A devastating cloudburst near Gangotri Dham triggered a massive landslide in Uttarkashi’s Dharali village on Tuesday, killing four and leaving over 50 people missing. The overflowing Kheer Gadh drain destroyed homes, roads, and markets, cutting off access to the sacred pilgrimage site. Shocking videos captured by tourists show water and debris engulfing the area. Rescue efforts by the Army, ITBP, NDRF, and SDRF are underway despite heavy rainfall and blocked roads. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and Home Minister Amit Shah assured full support. Uttarakhand and neighboring Himachal Pradesh continue to reel under intense monsoon havoc.
