Many rivers in spate

Dehradun:
The death toll due to heavy rains in Uttarakhand rose to 14 on Saturday, while about ten rivers and rivulets were in spate across the State. Vehicle traffic was disrupted on several routes due to landslides.

At least 15 people are still missing since Friday yesterday morning in Pithoragarh and Chamoli districts.

The Met department has warned of heavy rains in isolated places in the State, especially in Nainital, Udhamsingh Nagar and Champawat districts.

“While nine bodies were recovered from Pithoragarh district by late last night, two more were pulled out from the debris this morning,” Additional Secretary C. Ravishankar told PTI.

Three bodies were recovered in Chamoli and six persons are still missing and the chances of their survival are bleak, he said.

The six were buried in the debris which flowed down the hills destroying many houses on Friday.

“The total number of people still missing from both the districts is 15,” Mr. Ravishankar said.

“Tonnes of debris had flowed downhill after the cloubdbursts over a large area and it is difficult to ascertain where exactly the missing people are trapped,” he said.

Teams of National Disaster Response Force, State Disaster Response Force, Sashastra Seema Bal, Indo-Tibetan Border Police, Disaster Mitigation and Management Center and police personnel are carrying out rescue operations under the supervision of District Magistrates and SPs in the affected districts, he said.
