The State Disaster Management Authority has confirmed the extent of the calamity. Chamoli district’s Deval block was among the worst affected, with a couple reported missing and two others injured.
Teams of the State Disaster Response Force and police were dispatched to the spot Friday night, but they have been held up due to a key road being blocked, the official said.
Satellite imagery shows scattered to broken intense convective clouds over Uttarakhand and the state's Uttarkashi region, which may cause cloudburst-induced flash floods.
