One dead as boulder falls on bus in Uttarakhand's Chamoli

Apart from the bridges, a portion of the kitchen of a primary school also collapsed after the rains. Rescue teams have been rushed to the areas where the extent of the damage is said to be heavy. Another incident of cloudburst was reported from Patharkatta village in the Gairsain block of the district. Officials said there was no report of any injuries. Last month, around 600 pilgrims on their way to the Badrinath shrine were stranded after the highway was blocked for over 12 hours following a landslide near Lambagad. The India Meteorological Department on Tuesday morning had issued an orange alert warning that heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely to occur at isolated places in Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Pithoragarh, Nainital, Pauri and Dehradun districts of the state in the next 24 hours.
