In Rudraprayag, a hotel was washed away in the flood caused by the rains, in which some people were injured. Whereas in Uttarkashi, the debris that fell from the mountain came directly on a tempo.

Water is being released continuously from the dam in the hilly areas, due to which the water level of the rivers has also increased in Haridwar and Rishikesh.
