A sudden flash flood triggered by intense monsoon rains struck Pauri Garhwal in Uttarakhand, burying two women under mudslides and sweeping five Nepali labourers away. The disaster occurred amid cloudburst conditions that caused debris-laden torrents across vulnerable slopes. Rescue teams from the State Disaster Response Force, NDRF, and local police are working urgently to locate the missing. The exact death toll remains unclear. Authorities have issued red alerts and urged villagers and tourists to stay away from rivers and unstable terrain as drainage and infrastructure suffer severe disruption. (PC: PTI)
