The public expresses deep sorrow and anger regarding the Uttarkashi flash floods, highlighting inadequate disaster management, poor urban planning, and human encroachment on nature. Calls for accountability, respect for the environment, and the need for better safety measures resonate strongly, reflecting a collective frustration towards governmental inadequacies and recurring disasters.

Government

Local Authorities

Environmental Agencies

All other issues aside

The government needs to heavily invest in an early warning system

Maybe a siren system , which can at least alert the lower areas that water is coming 
Even a couple of minutes in advance can save many lives.

Few minutes matter a lot

Building unplanned resorts , hotel in the name of development will lead to this. This can be avoided if goverment impelement better disaster management teams for prior alert  system like swiss

Were those Locals  houses or some hotles and home stays.
Kyuki mereko to hotels or home stays type mai dikh rhe hai kuch to construct hi hore the.

-Devnagri-

One guy, was trying to hide behind a house, but the house got swept like some sandcastle, imagine the power where concrete doesn't stand a chance.

Extremely heartbreaking, can't imagine what must have been going through their mind seeing death right in front of them!

Gadhere ke raste me itna jyada construction kese hone de rhi hai administration

ComradeUttarakhandi

Om shanti to the people who were not able to make it. 🙏

devanshudhapwal

this is horrifying!!! what can a person even do to save itself in such situation????

Feeling sad for the lost lives. This is completely Man made. Our ancestors didn’t construct houses near water stream like this. Major valleys in Uttarakhand has rampant construction near rivers or gadhera.

No one is addressing the elephant in the room -- climate change caused solely by modern lifestyle, profit-oriented corporate growth, commercial farming, aspirational ambitions and the "nothing succeeds like success" philosophy. We can't blame the government for investing in development.  We ask for it and we get it. Will any of us be against aspirations of buying a new car or house or getting better salary?

This is why in Kaliyug there is no escaping the ultimate wrath of nature.

Was there around 12 years back, beautiful stopover on the gangotri marg..even popular back then

Imagine those horrifying moments when you see your life flash before you in just a matter of seconds, om shanti to the ones who were not able to make it.

Professional_Hunt406

It gave me a flashback of 2013 ,

hope people stay safe

Big-Ant-2208

Without proper EIA , allocation of space to build hotels.  I am not an expert but it clearly seems that this pathway is part of watershed flow. 
This is natural , no doubt but the casualties is on successive governments and individuals involved.  Everybody is just filling their on coffers.


Plus , there should have been an Early detection and siren based early earning system. 


Now I hope that NDRF and SDRF work is going on without any administrative bottlenecks

The plight of people from mountain. We lose lives because of incapability of receiving early warnings of natural calamities. Even if someone gets a second chance we know the conditions of medical aid in the hospitals of our hills. People have short memory in India, this incident will be forgotten in a few weeks and everything will become normal unless you are the one affected. Then some years later same situation in some other place. Mountain will not stop crying. Just pray that it's not your turn next time.

Everone should move out of these zones during monsoon.

Is the Tiloth area safe? Please confirm the situation in and around Tiloth and Uttarkashi town.

SoberTan

This is a nightmarish video man. Just imagine those people who are running. They can see their death coming and they can't do anything about it but helplessly run. It's terrifying to even think about what was going on in their minds during those moments. May they rest in peace.

Dependent_Idea_7527

If anyone could please update me on Rishikesh Badrinath route? I'm about to use it for travelling tomorrow.

Defiant_Novel_6184

I was there 2 times, that was a small gadera, watching it coming in such force is horrifying.
There was kalp kedar mandir too in that area.

true_north986

Buildings near river / gadhera is an easy invitation for disaster. 
Seen it multiple times across multiple states. Stop playing with the nature. 
Water + boulders don't care about your age/gender/religion.

Hairy_Grapefruit_614

Oh God, bless their hearts. What a terrifying way to die.

eagletreehouse

So heartbreaking, none can fight these natural disasters and that's a very sad truth
 May ppl effected from this calamity find peace

Before anything else humans, start becoming human and stop torturing voiceless beings. Nature will come at you sooner or later

This is why I don't like development. Not because development brings facilities and opportunities, but because India never works on sustainable development. Balantly disregarding nature as it is, and blowing off hills, what were they expecting? 

Now no tourists who needed 4 lanes are here. Who suffer and have to leave their homes are the locals. Next time I see a tourist saying pahad has looteras, I'd kindly like to tell them, "


Try pahad when it's not a getaway, but your home. You'll understand why people here charge what they do, and why people here are agitated by the development, even though it'll supposedly "help them."

Many more floods and destruction like this ka waiting 
Just see the game of nature 
And yeah it's not destruction it's just the nature doing it's own thing 
You call it destruction because you made the buildings in nature place and then when nature did it's normal activity so ur building got destroyed and became destruction

Govt. Should do some intiative like early warning siren

WTH it doesn't even look like anyone could have made it. I hope they are somehow okay

Technical_Cook_216

Please stop building houses in the areas which are prone to natural disaster like this.... The way clearly looks like there would have been a waterfall long long back and because there was no water receeding for long years people would have thought lets build houses and stay.... which is sad.

Looking at the shape of the riverbed this is not the first time it happened.

I didn't know what a cloudburst was until I read it here. "An enormous amount of precipitation in a short period of time."  How big of a rain catchment area would something like this represent?  The amount of sudden water is insane.

UggaBugga11

jesus christ that‘s one of the craziest videos i‘ve ever seen. hope everyone in the village is safe.

This looks to be a debris flow, not a simple flood. Must have been some sort of significant slope failure further up the valley. Often caused by glacier outburst floods or large sérac collapse, but an abnormal rainfall event could do it I suppose.

SkiingisFreeing

All the  best to the people there.  
It's one of those international, intercultural, profoundly human dumbfuckeries that people see a flat piece of land on the outside of a rivers curve. A river with a very deep bed mind you, and think to themselves "This is a great place to build things, surely nothing bad will happen and my house won't be pressure washed off the hillside in a couple of years."  
Absolutely no shade on the villagers or India in general, I know several places in germany where settlements where build on obvious floodplanes next to rivers known to flood every 3-5 years.

Rule #1 : don't build your house close to the banks of a river at the bottom of a hill.

Camera man missed that one big building on the right get demolished

Agatio25

Holy crap. The entire outside of the bend of the river has been stripped. There were dozens of buildings there.

thefooleryoftom

Why is it always the worst fucking camera man of all time?

benjaminz100

Holy shit, Film horizontally and you won’t have to move the camera around so much.

Flash floods are terrifying, I hope that white suv near the start was the last living thing in that town.

Stouff-Pappa

Wow, very scary.  However "buries entire village" is not accurate.  It definitely did catastrophic damage to the one side of the village on the river bank.

tk427aj

Most frightening thing Ive seen. The speed at the start.

This looks like a clouburst and some sort of a landslide upriver combined.

I have always been very weary of the layout of mountain villages in Asia and Europe. It is very picturesque, but I always felt a bit uneasy, because of stuff like this.

pslayer757

How scary. That looks similar to what happens in the slot canyons when it rains miles away.

Wtj182

I don't want to detract from the situation.  But this is posted in the sub Catastrophic Failure.    Isn't this a natural catastrophe?
