Heavy rain over the last three days in Uttarakhand has claimed over two-dozen lives. The record rainfall has made rivers cross the danger mark. Landslides are not the only worry. Swollen rivers claim hundreds of lives each year. Lakhs of pilgrims visit Rishikesh each year to take a dip in the Ganges. Four persons were swept away by various rivers in the Kumaon region that are in spate while another died in Tharali area of Garhwal region since yesterday. The water level of the Tehri reservoir was rising alarmingly inundating several areas and the Ganga was hovering around the danger mark at Rishikesh and Haridwar threatening to flood more areas in the plains of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. |
