In Uttarakhand, continuous heavy rainfall since last night has caused major damage in the Nandnagar region of Chamoli district. In the Kuntari ward of Nandnagar Nagar Panchayat, heavy rains led to the destruction of six houses. Five people are reported missing, while two have been rescued safely. According to residents, several individuals are still believed to be trapped inside their homes.
Police from the Nandnagar station and administrative teams are attempting to reach the affected area, but ongoing rainfall is hampering relief and rescue efforts. Due to persistent rain, the full extent of the situation remains unclear.
Authorities have stated that a proper assessment of the damage and the number of missing persons will only be possible once teams reach the site. Meanwhile, rainfall continues across various parts of the state.
The Met Department has forecast moderate to heavy rain in several regions today as well.
