A flash flood swept through a village in the Himalayas in northern India on Tuesday. At least 50 people are missing and four are dead, with the toll expected to rise. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami told a local news outlet at least 190 people have been rescued. “The disaster has completely hit the entire Dharali,” said Dhami.

Rescue operations in flood-hit Uttarkashi entered their third day on Thursday (7 August), with the Army confirming that 70 people have been rescued and over 50 remain missing after Tuesday's devastating flash floods, reported The New Indian Express.

Nearly 200 people were rescued from Dharali, a remote mountainous village in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand state, after a cloudburst on Tuesday triggered mudslides and flash flooding in the Kheer Ganga river.
