The water level rose significantly, flooding the parking area in Jankichatti and leading to the collapse of embankments in Yamunotri Dham, as well as the security wall of the bridge to the Yamunotri temple.
Government sources report that three ponies and a motorcycle were swept away in Jankichatti due to the flash floods. The intense and sudden rainfall has led to widespread destruction in the region, with numerous reports of damage and disruption.
