Heartbreaking visuals from ground zero in Uttarkashi. The entire town is covered in debris and water levels continue to rise. This monsoon is turning into a nightmare. Prayers for all those affected. #Uttarkashi

I was deeply troubled to see this video on social media this afternoon. For those who may not know, this is from #Syanachatti in #Uttarkashi district in #Uttarakhand. It’s heartbreaking to share that the village of #Dharali, which suffered a devastating tragedy on August 5th is also in the same district. Both places have one thing in common beyond the fury of the 2025 monsoon. They are just about 20 odd kilometers short of the sacred shrines of #Yamunotri and #Gangotri. While Dharali and nearby #Harsil have been struggling for over two weeks with the formation of a lake on the Bhagirathi (Ganga) river, another rain induced landslide has now created a lake along the Yamuna river in the same district. What you see and hear in the video are locals in sheer anguish who are angry, frustrated, and desperate for help. It’s a cry for attention that cannot be ignored by anyone who is humane and sensitive to the suffering and pain of others. At this difficult hour, I stand in solidarity with them and urge the Uttarakhand government, all its #Dehradun based agencies and the district administration to do everything possible to manage this critical situation. While all houses and hotels were evacuated earlier and residents asked to move to higher ground, I am certain that a lot more is being expected from our authorities. With broken roads and the monsoon showing no mercy, things look extremely worrying. My heartfelt prayers for the safety of everyone in Syanachatti and the entire rain battered region. May normalcy return soon. 🙏
