Landslides and flash floods have claimed lives, destroyed homes, and disrupted transportation. The unstable slopes and continuous rainfall are hampering rescue and clearance operations. In Dehradun, rising water levels in seasonal streams have forced evacuations, posing risks to life and property. The situation remains precarious, with further rainfall likely to exacerbate the damage.
