Ganges Flooding Sweeps Away Shops in Budha Kedar
Tehri Garhwal, situated amidst mountains, fell victim because of the swelling of the Ganges.

A large part of the Vinaykhal- Jakhana motor road was also washed away in the flood of Bal Ganga. Electricity supply and drinking water supply of many villages in the area also came to a halt.
Disaster Management in Focus
The rainfall has not stopped at all, and the rivers are running high, inundating infrastructure and property heavily. The Ganga, in a sense, has traditionally been the lifeblood and spiritual source for so many; it now turned into a destructive agent—something that shows the depth of the natural calamity gripping the state.
The unfolding crisis in Tehri Garhwal Foremost is the requirement felt for emergency response and disaster management to mitigate the immediate dangers arising from the rise in water levels. With the situation evolving rapidly, it is apparently going to be the mitigation of further damage and providing aid to people affected by the floods. It will be the resiliency and preparedness of the local and state administration that become crucial in transacting with this troublesome situation for the safety of people in Uttarakhand.
