In Uttarakhand's Tehri, a landslide causes a wall to fall, burying a woman and her daughter

In the Tehri district of Uttarakhand, heavy rains on Saturday caused a landslide that destroyed several homes and businesses. Beneath the rubble lay a 42-year-old lady and her adolescent daughter.

According to authorities, rescuers in Toli village extricated the remains of Sarita Devi and 15-year-old Ankita from beneath the rubble. According to District Magistrate (DM) Mayur Dikshit, their house was buried in debris after a retaining wall fell.

Pushkar Singh Dhami, the chief minister, gave the order for staff to stay on high alert and to help people impacted by the landslide right away.

The flooded Dharmganga river destroyed numerous stores in Budhakedar, while the landslide and floodwaters also caused damage to a number of bridges. According to authorities, residents along the river have been relocated to safer areas.

The Chief Minister has instructed all District Magistrates in the state to always be on alert mode and to coordinate with the SDRF, NDRF, and other rescue teams, according to the Chief Minister's Office (CMO).

Following the heavy rain advisory issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) in several locations, Pushkar Dhami urged the people of the state to stay indoors and go outside only when absolutely essential.

There has been a lot of damage as a result of the two days of intense rain in several locations in Budhakedar and a cloudburst in the villages of Toli and Bhigun. Both residents and visitors, especially those traveling to and from Kedarnath, were impacted by the rain, which also damaged several roads and communication systems in various locations.

In the Gondar district, after heavy rains, over a hundred visitors were rescued on Friday when a flooded river swept away a pedestrian bridge, leaving them stuck on the trek route to the Madmaheshwar temple.
