Worthwhile to mention here that the Tapovan area of Chamoli district in Uttarakhand witnessed massive flood as Dhauliganga river was in spate following breaking off an avalanche near a power project at Raini village.
Nearly 150 were injured and the dead are still to be counted. The ITBP personnel along with disaster management team are trying their best to rescue the marooned people.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said the district administration, police and disaster management departments are directed to deal with the situation.
