Cloudburst in Dehradun
Earlier on Monday, a massive cloudburst in Dehradun’s Sahastradhara had caused large-scale damage. Two to three major hotels and several shops in the main market were damaged due to debris falling after the cloudburst. The incident was reported from the Karliguard area of Sahastradhara in Uttarakhand, a famous tourist spot in Dehradun. Many shops were swept away by the strong current in the area, and several people were reported to be missing.
Rivers like Sahastradhara, Chandrabhaga in Rishikesh, and Song in Tapovan have swollen dangerously, flooding roads and low-lying settlements. Visuals showed massive destruction, commuters stranded, Tapkeshwar Mahadev temple inundated, and areas flooded.
