On August 5, 2025, a sudden cloudburst near Dharali village in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, unleashed a flash flood and massive mud‑slide through the hillside settlement. At least four people died and over 50 are missing, with many feared buried under debris. Chilling video footage captured one man crawling out of sludge hours after the deluge struck . Rescue teams—including the Indian Army, NDRF, and SDRF—were deployed immediately, conducting evacuation and search operations under challenging terrain. Homes, hotels, and infrastructure were swept away, and authorities warn of worsening conditions amid ongoing heavy monsoon rains.
