According to the officials, at least four people were killed, and several others were trapped under the garbage after floods, which dragged many houses and shops in Northern India.
Local television channels showed flood waters descending from the mountains and falling to Daraly, the Himalaev mountain village in the Utkarsi region of Utarakad.
The flood waters flooded at home, dragged the roads and destroyed the local market.
The authorities also announced that twelve hotels were protracted, and many stores were destroyed, saying that rescue workers were working “in war”.
The National Spontaneous Disasta Department of India said that they asked three helicopters from the federal government to help save and provide assistance, since rescuers are trying to access the remote territory.
Officials did not give a number for a trap or missing.
In the coming days, the India meteorological service predicted stronger precipitation in the area.
The authorities asked the schools to remain closed in several areas.
Sudden, strong rains in small areas are increasingly found in Utarakada, the Himalayas area, which are exposed to floods and landslides during the Musson period.
More than 6,000 people were killed, and 4,500 villages were injured when a similar rainfall destroyed the state of Utarakad in 2013.
The influence of climate change
Experts say that waterfalls have increased in recent years from climate change, while thunderstorms also increased from unplanned growth in mountainous areas.
Flows in Northern India are the last series of disasters, which in recent months have fallen into the mountains of the Himalayas, extending to five countries.
Floods and landslides as a result of strong precipitation and melting of the glacier from high temperatures died more than 300 people in Pakistan, the country’s natural disasters said.
In 2024 alone, in Asia there were 167 disasters, including thunderstorms, floods, heat waves and earthquakes, most of any other continent, according to the data of the Louvens’ Extreme Data in Belgium.
Researchers found that they led to losses of more than 32 billion dollars (27 billion euros).
