Badrinath (Uttarakhand) [India], October 19 (ANI): Amid a landslide triggered by heavy rainfall, passengers were rescued from a vehicle stuck in Lambagad drain on Badrinath highway on Monday.
Efforts are being made by Border Roads Organisation (BRO) to retrieve the vehicle, the BRO informed.
Debris has blocked Uttarakhand's Rishikesh-Badrinath highway and has damaged dozens of vehicles in Sirobagad. The link road of Khankhra-Khedakhal-Khirsu has also been blocked due to landslides.
Landslides were triggered due to incessant rains in the area for the past 4 days.
