Incessant torrential rains have caused flash floods in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district, causing a rise in water levels in Nandaprayag. At least 54 mm rainfall has reportedly been recorded in the state, and the Alaknanda river is flowing above the danger level. At least 14 bodies have been recovered from the debris in villages that were flattened in a cloudburst in Uttarakhand, police said on Saturday. Many died on Friday across six villages in the Chamoli and Pithoragarh districts. Rescue operations are still ongoing.
