One part of a mountain crumpled in Chamoli’s Joshimath area in Uttarakhand due to a massive landslide on Friday morning. Since the area was vacant at the time, no casualties are reported thus far. Several reports of landslides and floods are surfacing from Uttarakhand amid incessant rains in the state. 

Himachal Pradesh is also experiencing heavy rainfall. Residents from both states have been encountering the wrath of flash floods and landslides for some time now.   Reports indicated that Uttarakhand has seen several casualties due to heavy rainfall. A woman died and five people were injured on Thursday when a house collapsed in Almora district, while a man drowned in the Shakti canal here amid incessant rainfall in various parts of Uttarakhand.

The reports add that incessant rainfall has triggered landslides at a number of places, blocking traffic movement. Three highways and around 100 motor roads in various parts of the state are blocked by landslide debris. Efforts are in progress to reopen the blocked roads, including the Ramnagar-Talli Sethi- Betalghat highway and the Lambgaon-Ghansali-Tilwada highway in Uttarkashi district and two border roads in Pithoragarh district.
