Rescue operations continued in full swing in Dharali village, Uttarkashi, where torrential flash floods ravaged the region following a suspected glacier collapse or glacial-lake outburst on August 6, 2025. Rescuers have recovered one body, raising the official death toll to five. Meanwhile, around 190 people have been rescued, including villagers, tourists, and army personnel. The floods destroyed homes, roads, shops, and the revered Kalp Kedar temple. Efforts by the Army, NDRF, ITBP, and local authorities are being hampered by landslides and blocked roads. Continuous rainfall is making drone and helicopter rescue operations challenging but urgent.
