Normal life is being severely affected due to heavy rains in Uttarakhand. Traffic has been disrupted due to debris, boulder and landlords on the Yamunotri and Badrinath highways. The water level of the Yamuna river in the Sainachatti region increased so much that the water started flowing over the motor bridge, due to which the bridge has reached a condition of danger.
The rain water entered many hotels so much that it is coming from one side and leaving from the other side. The first floors of many hotels have been submerged, causing panic among the local people. Local residents Jaipal Singh Rawat, Navdeep Singh, Baldev Singh and Shailendra Singh Rana said that they spent the whole night, because the flow of water could harm at any time.
Road closed in many places due to debris
At present, the rain has stopped and the weather is clear, but the danger is still not averted. The road has been blocked due to heavy debris in Kamda area near Paganala, Bhanerpani, Nandprayag and Gauchar on the Badrinath highway. There are long queues of vehicles on both sides of the highway, and the pilgrims are waiting for the way to open.
The work of removing debris has been started by the administration and movement has started at some places, but debris is still stored on the hill side, which can shut down the route at any time. Pilgrims from Gujarat said that it took them 16 hours to cover the distance from Srinagar to Pipalkoti, as the Badrinath road is in a very dangerous situation.
Mountains are constantly craving
Apart from this, the highway is also completely closed in areas like Kamera and Simli-Gwaladam-Almora Highway near Gauchar, Nauli, Ming Gadera and Kaal Jabar. Due to continuous rains, mountains are cracking and big piles of debris have accumulated on the roads.
District Magistrate Sandeep Tiwari said that the work of removing debris in all the affected areas and opening roads is going on a war footing. It is the effort of the administration that normal traffic was restored as soon as possible
