UTTARAKHAND: Heavy rain and landslides caused extensive damage in Uttarakhand’s Dharchula district. Residents have requested the local administration to let them look for their belongings that are still under wreckage. The remiss of the damaged houses has blocked roads creating problems for the locals to flit from place to place.
“There was extensive damage due to rainfall. We had made it a priority to keep people safe, then save their properties and clear blocked roads,” said Anil Kumar Shukla, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, of Dharchula. “Work is almost complete. People want to retrieve properties from damaged houses. We are seeing that it is done with the help of machines,” said Mr. Shukla.
