At least 50 workers trapped inside a tunnel in Rishiganga are feared dead after a portion of Nanda Devi glacier broke off in Tapovan area of Joshimath in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on Sunday morning and damaged the Rishiganga dam on Alaknanda river. Three bodies have been recovered so far. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has spoken to officials of the state disaster management and Chamoli administration.
All districts are on high alert and people have been warned not to venture near the Ganga river. He also appealed to people to not spread rumours through old flood videos. Now, Bollywood celebrities took to their social media handles, praying for the safety of the people affected by the avalanche. People from all over the country have been sending prayers for the people of Uttarakhand.

Open in appForce of nature - saddened to see a disaster unfolding #Uttarakhand - except that with all our callous approach to climate change/ global warming - not sure we can call these ‘natural disasters’ anymore !!
