Yeh cloudburst Arakot ke remote area me hua, jiske baad flash floods aur landslides ki wajah se aaspaas ke gaon pani me doob gaye. Rescue team lagatar logon ki talaash me lagi hai.
Kya hua exactly Uttarkashi me?
Uttarkashi Cloudburst Uttarkashi district ke Arakot region me raat ke samay baarish itni tej hui ki pani ne ek dum se cloudburst ka roop le liya. Yeh baarish kuch hi minutes me flash flood ban gayi jisme ghar, sadke, aur log sab kuch beh gaya.
Local authorities ke mutabik, sabse zyada damage Mori block me hua jahan several homes puri tarah se dhwast ho gaye. Log raat ko so rahe the jab unke gharon me pani ghus gaya. Jahan tak aankhon dekhi gawahon ka kehna hai, logon ko sambhalne ka bhi time nahi mila.
Rescue Operation abhi bhi jaari hai
State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), aur local police rescue aur relief me jut gayi hai. Helicopters ke zariye inaccessible areas me rescue team pahuchaayi ja rahi hai.
Ab tak 4 bodies recover ki gayi hain aur 13 logon ko safely rescue kar liya gaya hai. Lekin 50 se zyada logon ka abhi bhi koi pata nahi chal paya hai. Local log aur volunteers bhi rescue me madad kar rahe hain.
Communication & Road blockages
Heavy rains aur flash flood ke kaaran kai jagah communication break ho gaya hai. Sadke beh gayi hain ya blocked hain jahan tak rescue pahuch nahi pa raha. Mobile network bhi kaafi jagahon par down hai.
Pichhle kuch saalon me baar-baar disasters ka samna
Uttarakhand baar-baar prakritik aapdaon ka shikaar ban raha hai. 2013 me Kedarnath tragedy, fir 2021 Chamoli glacier burst, aur ab 2025 me Uttarkashi Cloudburst – yeh sab is baat ka sanket hai ki hume climate change aur hill development pattern ko seriously lena hoga.
Experts ka kehna hai ki unplanned construction, deforestation, aur climate change ki wajah se Uttarakhand ke fragile ecosystem pe pressure badhta ja raha hai. Agar abhi bhi preventive steps nahi liye gaye to aage aur aise disasters dekhne pad sakte hain.
Sarkar ka response aur relief efforts
CM Pushkar Singh Dhami ne emergency meeting bulakar relief operations ko fast-track karne ka nirdesh diya hai. State government ne ₹10 crore ka immediate relief fund approve kiya hai aur local officials ko kaha gaya hai ki har affected family ko turant ration, pani, aur medicine supply ki jaaye.
Army aur ITBP ke jawan bhi lagatar operation me lage huye hain. Local schools aur temples ko relief camp banaya gaya hai jahan logon ko temporary shelter diya ja raha hai.
