India News: Ten stories of Uttarakhand rain terror
- 5 years ago
India News: With hundreds feared dead in Uttarakhand and more than 60,000 people still stranded in the state after torrential rain and landslides, the Supreme Court today ordered the central and state government to spare no effort to rescue people.
The court has asked for a report by Tuesday on the government's efforts.
More than 150 people have been declared dead so far, but on Wednesday, the Prime Minister warned that the death toll will run high. Many parts of the state are cut off from rescue teams after roads caved in and bridges collapsed.
The rescue operations have turned into the army's largest ever - 8,500 soldiers, 30 air force aircraft, and 12 army helicopters are being used, along with teams from the National Disaster Response Force which have also been deployed.
