One dead, 66 are still missing until the rescue efforts continue

At least 66 people are still missing a week after the lightning floods hit the northern Indian state of Uzarakhand, an official statement said.

So far, only one body has been restored, it is added to the statement, reviewing a more death than four death.

Almost half of Dharalli village was submerged On August 5 in mud caused by heavy rains and lightning floods. An army camp nearby also suffered great damage.

Rescue operations continue at the site of the disaster as workers are looking for missing people. The work is affected by the unfavorable time and blocking a key highway near the site due to the mud.

Weeks of heavy rain have poured Utarakhand, with the area of Sudarashi – the home of the village of Dharalli – among the smallest blows from the floods.

About 1,300 people have been rescued from near Dharalli last week, officials said.

Last week, last week led to the swelling of the Keergan River in the region, sending tons of muddy waters that collide down the hilly terrain, covering roads, buildings and shops in Dharalli and a nearby village of Harcil.

Videos showed a giant wave of water that crashed through the area, destroying buildings on its way, giving some time to escape to people.

The Chief Minister of Uzarakhand and other employees initially stated that lightning floods were caused by CloudBurst, but the Meteorological Department in India did not confirm this.

Vinay Shankar Pand, a senior local employee, said a team of 10 geologists was sent to the village to determine the cause of lightning floods.

Kheerganga sludge has blocked part of the Bhagirathi main river in the region (which becomes the world’s largest river in India after traveling down the stream) and created an artificial lake, immersing huge sections of land, including a government helicopter.

Rescue workers are still trying to drain the lake, which initially retired but filled again after more rains.

G -N Pangu said in a statement that a list of missing people includes 24 Nepalese workers, 14 locals, nine army staff and 13 and six persons respectively from the United States Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

However, locals told reporters that more people in the area had not yet been reported.

Rescue officials use helicopters to reach Dharalli, which is still blocked by debris.

A temporary bridge has also been built to allow easier access, as workers continue to try to clear the blocked roads.

“Efforts are constantly being made to remove debris and build roads in Dharalli to restore order,” said G -N Pang.

Sniffer’s dogs and Earth’s movement are looking for those caught under the ruins.

A rescue worker told before India’s press that they are handling through the debris, where a hotel stood before the disaster.

“There was some movement of people in front of him when the disaster struck. The debris here is manually dug with the help of radar equipment, as people can be buried here,” he said.

On Monday, a road restoration machine near Kheerganga is immersed in a swollen river; His driver is missing and the machine remains unobtrusive.

The Indian Meteorological Department predicts heavy rains and thunderstorms for different parts of Ukrakhand by August 14 with high signals issued for eight areas, including garnava.
