Dehradun: Major rivers across Uttarakhand, including the Ganga, swelled after incessant rain on Wednesday, forcing authorities to suspend the Char Dham Yatra and battle landslides that blocked 109 roads.
According to the State Emergency Operation Centre, 109 roads are currently closed across the state, and restoration work is underway.
The pedestrian route from Janakichatti to Yamunotri was also damaged near Ram Mandir after the river swelled, although alternative arrangements have been made for movement in the area.
In Haridwar, the Ganga was flowing at 292.90 metres, just 0.10 metres below the warning level and 1.10 metres below the danger mark.
In Pithoragarh district, the Kali River touched 888.90 metres, just 0.10 metres below its warning level of 889 metres.
