JAKARTA - More than 50 people have been swept away by flash floods in the state of Uttarakhand, northern India.
Reported by Reuters on Tuesday, August 5, visual broadcasts on local TV channels showed floodwater pouring down the mountain and hitting the hamlet at the foot of the hill, sweeping houses and roads in the Himalayan city of Uttarkashi.
There may be damage caused by an increase in water levels in the Harshil area, Uttarkashi, the Uttarakhand police said in a post on X. Officers asked residents to stay away from the river.
Uttarakhand, located in the Himalayan, is increasingly vulnerable to flash floods and landslides, which some experts say are caused by climate change.
