Torrential rains created a havoc displacing more than 2 million people and killing more than 1000 people as of June 24. Many houses, roads and buildings were washed away; even the bridges gave in to these floods trapping countless people. Army and Air force and many other organizations are making a concerted effort to rescue people still stranded in the mountains after flash floods and landslides. Air force officials say they need to get to the mountains urgently as time is running out for survivors. Early monsoon rains in India this year are believed to be the heaviest in 80 years.

At this hour, thousands are still stranded in the holy pilgrimage sites of Kedarnath and Badrinath in higher Himalayan altitudes after flash floods hit the region last week. Soldiers and other workers reopened dozens of roads by building makeshift bridges, accelerating the evacuation of nearly 62,000 people. The River Ganga and its tributaries are flowing above the danger mark in several areas in the Himalayan state.
