U'Khand Floods: Before & after visuals of destruction via graphics | Report From Tapovan

Watch the visuals of before and after effect of destruction from Uttarakhand floods via graphics. Watch the ground report from Tapovan's tunnel. 

The tragedy took place after the water level in the Dhauliganga river, one of the six sources of the Ganga river, suddenly surged on Sunday morning following an avalanche near the Rishi Ganga power project. The 85 km river meets the Alaknanda river at Vishnuprayag at the base of Joshimath mountain.

The ITBP said the flash flood occurred in Rishi Ganga at around 10.45 a.m. due to a glacier falling into it, thereby exponentially increasing the volume of water.
