Mussoorie, Sept. 7 -- Rains continued to lash Uttarakhand, triggering landslides and boulder falls that blocked more than 130 roads across the state, while the Banganga River in Haridwar district breached its danger mark amid rising water levels in several major rivers. The state received 18.5 mm of rainfall against a normal of 8.9 mm during the 24 hours ending at 8.30 am on Sunday, recording an excess of 107%, according to official data. Authorities remained on alert as persistent rainfall over already saturated slopes increased the risk of landslides, flash floods and disruption to road connectivity. In Haridwar district, heavy rainfall during the past 24 hours led to a sharp rise in the water level of the Banganga River. At 2 pm on Sunday, the river was flowing at 231.08 metres, marginally above its danger mark of 231 metres. Several other rivers were also flowing at or close to warning levels. Meanwhile, landslides and boulder falls disrupted traffic on over 130 roads across state. Chamoli reported the highest number of active road closures, with 27 routes blocked. Three roads were reopened by Sunday evening. Pauri Garhwal reported 24 blocked roads, while one route was partially restored after clearance work. In Nainital district, 18 roads remained closed and six had been reopened. Pithoragarh reported 16 blocked roads, while 11 routes were restored. Dehradun reported 12 road closures. Almora had 11 blocked roads, with three stretches partially opened and 13 routes restored. Tehri Garhwal reported eight closures, while Rudraprayag had seven blocked roads. Champawat reported three closures and Bageshwar two. In Uttarkashi, traffic movement on the Gangotri National Highway was temporarily disrupted on Sunday morning after a fresh landslide occurred around 800 metres ahead of Runwasa. According to information received by the district emergency operations centre, disaster management authorities immediately alerted the Border Roads Organisation (BRO). Heavy earthmoving equipment and JCB machines were dispatched to the site at 10.34 am to clear debris and restore connectivity. Officials said the Gangotri and Yamunotri national highways remained largely open for traffic despite the localised disruption. Three rural motor roads, however, remained affected, with clearance work continuing. In Rudraprayag district, the Banswara-Kansil-Chandranagar-Mohankhal state highway was closed following a landslide. Five routes under the Public Works Department and seven rural roads under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana were also affected. Officials said machinery and manpower had been deployed to reopen the routes. Hitesh Kandpal, executive engineer, PWD Champawat, said excavators and response teams had been stationed at sensitive points to ensure the quick clearance of roads affected by landslides or rising water levels. "Nearly all roads under the department's jurisdiction remain operational, with normal traffic movement continuing". IMD Dehradun Centre has issued a yellow alert for the state from September 7 to 10.
