Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sara Ali Khan took to their respective Instagram Stories to post notes of their concern for the Uttarakhand glacier burst tragedy and the victims.

Actors Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sara Ali Khan took to Instagram to post their thoughts on the Uttarakhand glacier burst incident. The tragedy took place as the Nanda Devi glacier broke off in the Chamoli district of the state on Sunday.

Sara Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor had Uttarakhand tragedy on their minds.

The sudden flood in the middle of the day in the Dhauli Ganga, Rishi Ganga and Alaknanda rivers -- all intricately linked tributaries of the Ganga -- triggered widespread panic and large-scale devastation in the high mountain areas.

Shraddha had tweeted: "Distressing to hear about the glacier breaking off in #Uttarakhand Praying everyone’s safety there."

A worried Dia Mirza also spoke about constructing big dams in the Himalayan region. "Building too many dams in the Himalayas has lead to this. Prayers for the people of Chamoli. Please contact Disaster Operations Center number 1070 or 9557444486 for help. #Uttarakhand."

Lyricist Prasoon Josh, too, tweeted: "Hoping that Chamoli and other districts of #Uttarakhand stay as safe from the glacier burst and no lives are endangered . Prayers and strength for the people , the authorities and rescue teams."
