Mussoorie/Haridwar, Aug. 7 -- Light to heavy rainfall continued across Uttarakhand on Thursday, disrupting daily commute as major rivers crossed danger marks and landslides blocked key stretches of the Char Dham pilgrimage routes, officials said on Thursday. More than 150 roads were closed across the state, while several vehicles were buried under mud and debris along the Kedarnath highway. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Khanpur in Haridwar district recorded the highest rainfall in the state at 112 mm till 4 pm, followed by Chakrata in Dehradun with 73 mm and Laksar with 59.5 mm. Significant rainfall was also recorded in Rikhnikhal (45 mm), Naugaon (36.5 mm), Rudraprayag town (32.5 mm), Koti (28.5 mm), Takula (25 mm) and Ganai Gangoli (20.5 mm). In Rudraprayag district, the Alaknanda River crossed its danger mark of 627 metres and was flowing at 627.80 metres on Thursday morning, while the Mandakini River touched 626.20 metres, surpassing its danger level of 626 metres. Alaknanda at Srinagar in Pauri Garhwal was recorded at 534.76 metres, close to the warning mark of 535 metres. Nandan Singh Rajwar, district disaster management officer, Rudraprayag, said authorities had directed emergency teams to remain on maximum alert and conduct continuous patrols along riverbanks. "Residents living near rivers have been advised to stay vigilant and shift to safer locations if required," Rajwar said. In Haridwar district, the Banganga river crossed its warning level at Raisi, while the Ganga was recorded at 460.20 metres in Devprayag and 339.40 metres at Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh. Authorities sounded an alert in areas situated along the Ganga riverbed and the Ganga Canal as the river approached the warning level. Officials said the danger mark for the river is 294 metres. Heavy rainfall led to waterlogging in several parts of Haridwar district, affecting residential colonies and major intersections in Haridwar city as well as suburban areas, including Jwalapur, Bahadarabad, Manglaur, Narsan, Landaura, Bhagwanpur and Roorkee. "All flood relief personnel have been put on alert, and regular updates are being received from the tehsil level through the control room. Disaster management teams are continuously monitoring the situation and remain on high alert," said Meera Rawat, district disaster management officer. The downpour also affected the movement of Kanwar pilgrims along the dedicated pedestrian route and on National Highway-58, causing delays and inconvenience. Mayur Dixit, district magistrate of Haridwar, and Navneet Singh Bhullar, senior superintendent of police, inspected rain-affected areas along the Haridwar-Roorkee stretch of National Highway-58 and at Narsan, the border point with Uttar Pradesh, to assess the situation and review arrangements made for pilgrims and local residents. State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel also rescued a 55-year-old Vijay Lakshmi (55) stranded in Tehri Garhwal's Bailgarhi village after heavy rainfall caused a sudden rise in the water level of a seasonal stream. Officials said the bridge over the stream was washed away, disrupting connectivity in the village on the Nelchami road. Heavy inflow in the Asan River triggered an operational emergency at the Asan Barrage in Dehradun district after large quantities of waste clogged protective screens and disrupted water diversion into the hydroelectric channel. Officials sounded warning sirens and released around 39,000 cusecs of floodwater into the Yamuna River over three hours....
