DEHRADUN, India: Rescue teams deployed Tuesday to India’s Himalayan region after flash floods tore down a mountain valley, appearing to wipe away much of a town, where at least four people were missing.
Videos broadcast on Indian media showed a surge of muddy water sweeping away multi-story apartment blocks in the tourist region of Dharali in Uttarakhand state.
Pushkar Singh Dhami, Uttarakhand state chief minister, said rescue teams had been deployed “on a war footing.”
