HEAVY FLOODS IN UTTARKHAND | UTTARKHAND NEWS LIVE
Floods in Uttarakand :In Uttarakhand, five more people lost their lives in rain related incidents. With this, the death toll in flood and landslide in the state has gone upto 65 during the past two days.
Monsoon is taking a devastating shape in Uttarakhand. Incessant rain in the hill state that triggered floods and landslides, killing over 50 people, has put the Tehri dam under severe threat. Water level in the reservoir touched an alarming 828.85- metre mark on Sunday.
Once it crosses the danger mark of 830 metres, the automatic water discharge system will activate and that could lead to heavy flooding in downstream towns such as Rishikesh and Haridwar. The water level was likely to cross the 830- metre mark by midnight.
Considering the danger, the Tehri administration shifted people from six villages downstream to safer locations. Tehri district magistrate Radhika Jha said: ” There is no need to panic. We have shifted the villagers to ensure that there is no loss of life.”
The flood threat is looming large over the villages on the bank of Bhagirathi where it meets the Alaknanda to form the Ganga.
