Rescue operations at Badrinath in flood-ravaged Uttarakhand have not ended yet, as about hundred pilgrims and 200 local people are still to be evacuated, a disaster management official said today.
"There are about 200 villagers to evacuate from Mana in Badrinath, mostly women and children. The bridge has broken, so we will need to evacuate the yatris and local people today (Wednesday) itself," Kajla told a news channel here.
The incessant and intense rains that hit Uttarakhand over three days from June 14 triggered flash floods and landslides, leading to hundreds of deaths, and hundreds have since been missing.u00a0
