Vehicular Movement In Uttarakhand's Chamoli Resumes As BRO Constructs Temporary Bridge

BRO built a temporary bridge in Uttarakhand's Chamoli near Joshimath Malari Highway which led to the resumption of vehicular movement.

Vehicular movement in Uttarakhand's Chamoli resumed after Border Roads Organization (BRO) built a temporary bridge near Joshimath Malari Highway in Jumma. A bridge connecting dozens of villages, including Joshimath, was washed away on July 10 due to a spate in the Deogarh drain near Malari Highway, reported news agency ANI. This bridge was built after the strategically important motor bridge near Jumma on Joshimath-Malari Highway that led to the India-China border region was washed away in floods as per a report in the Pioneer.

Meanwhile, the Badrinath National Highway in Uttarakhand was again closed due to a rainfall-triggered landslide in the Chamoli district. 

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and other leaders of the ruling dispensation have been touring the state to take stock of the situation. On the other hand, the India Meteorology Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rainfall in both hill states in the coming five days. The weather body has also issued a yellow alert for Himachal Pradesh and an orange alert for Uttarakhand.

Uttarakhand Floods

In Uttarakhand, three people, including a seven-year-old child, died in flood-related incidents caused by incessant rains in Uttarakhand's Haridwar district, reported PTI citing officials. State Disaster Management Department (SDMD) Additional Secretary Savin Bansal said due to heavy rains across the state for the last few days, a waterlogging situation has arisen in many areas, especially in Haridwar, the agency reported.

He informed that the State Disaster Management Authority has prepared a flood map after analysing the area through 'Microwave Satellite Data'. "The flood map has been made available to the Haridwar district administration, which would help them in planning and implementing relief and rescue operations on time," he said.
