It's a disaster of epic proportions. Reports say Kedarnath town has been completely wiped out. The temple has also been damaged. Thousands are missing.

It rained so bad that some houses in our "mohalla" were flooded. Doon was fortunate though, the remote hilly regions were'nt.

This is tragic. any reason for the floods? I find it quite stupid from dams when they reach up to full water capacity they open the damn thing in sudden without any beforehand warning. I hope that was not the case here

Tragic.. According to reports the damage would have been less if not for hydro power dams built haphazardly and massive deforestation leading to earth slips.. You cant f@ck around with mother nature and not expect to get f@ucked back.. R.I.P to those demised

Cloud burst. Ecological imbalance owing to felling of trees, constructions along the fragile river banks in Himalayan region. Uttarakhand has a history of torrential rains.

People also blame the hydel projects being carried in the Tehri Garhwal region which is causing damage to mother nature.
