Severe natural disasters have occurred in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand due to heavy rains and landslides. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

At least 17 people have died as a result of the rainfall over the past two days, and more than 20 people are missing. This natural disaster mainly caused severe floods and landslides in mountainous areas.

The transport system in Dehradun city has been seriously damaged, and rescue teams are facing difficulties reaching some areas due to washed-away roads. The collapse of bridges over the Rispana and Bindal rivers has further complicated efforts to assist the affected.

Some residential buildings have been destroyed, forcing hundreds of people to leave their homes. The government declared a state of emergency, temporarily closed schools, and suspended the operations of government offices.

Rescuers are currently continuing search operations for the missing. Due to bad weather conditions, search efforts in some areas are being conducted only with the help of helicopters.

Local residents are being evacuated to safe areas. This situation indicates significant concern and a serious condition in the region.
