Dharali: Couple Searches for Missing Children After India Floods

The Uttarakhand IAS Association under President L.A. Fanai decided on Thursday to donate one-day salary of IAS officers to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund after the August 5 flash floods in Dharali.
Amid heavy monsoon rains, two cloudbursts on Tuesday afternoon in Dharali and Sukhi Top triggered flash floods that left at least three civilians dead and over 50 missing.
The National Remote Sensing Centre’s rapid assessment by NRSC, Hyderabad, showed a fan-shaped deposit spanning 20 hectares and revealed dramatic widening of stream channels.
A joint rescue operation by the Indian Army, IAF, ITBP, NDRF, SDRF, BRO, Uttarakhand Police, and volunteers evacuated around 190 people from Dharali on Wednesday.
The India Meteorological Department predicts heavy precipitation through August 11, and scientists are still investigating whether glacier collapse or extreme rainfall triggered the flash floods.
