At least four people have died, while several others are missing in the tragedy that struck Dharali. Home minister Amit Shah spoke to Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to take stock of the situation.

A cloudburst led to flash floods in the high altitude villages of Dharali in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district on Tuesday (August 5, 2025) with several houses being damaged or swept away in the raging waters, according to people in the area.

A torrent of sludge flattened homes, shops and hotels in Dharali in the wake of the cloudburst near the catchment area of the Kheer Ganga river, locals said
