100 People Feared Missing After Flash Flood Devastates Himalayan Town

A deadly flash flood tore through the town of Dharali in India’s Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, killing at least four people and leaving around 100 missing. Caused by an intense cloudburst, the torrent of mud and water demolished buildings and buried homes under 50 feet of debris. Government officials, rescue teams, and the Indian army responded urgently, while climate experts warn the disaster is part of a growing pattern of extreme weather intensified by global warming and reckless development.
