Heavy rainfall has triggered widespread landslides and flash floods across Uttarakhand, disrupting transport networks and prompting school closures in several hill districts.
The incessant rain has blocked key roads, affecting both daily commuter traffic and the movement of pilgrims traveling to the Char Dham sites.
Authorities have issued travel advisories as the weather system continues to batter the region.
The disruption adds to a series of weather-related logistical challenges in India.
Earlier this year, the Kodari road section, a critical trade corridor linking China and Nepal, was closed for six days due to a landslide, leaving freight containers stranded at the border.
Additionally, rail connectivity on the Mumbai-Pune corridor faced severe disruptions when Central Railway cancelled dozens of long-distance and intercity trains following similar weather events.
