Which river flooded in uttarakhand

There is no time frame yet on completing that work. DGP Ashok Kumar said on Monday that the rescue and search operations will continue until all the missing persons are found. Massive deposits of mud and debris around the barrage in Tapovan and on both banks of the Rishi Ganga river in Raini village had initially restricted the movement of machines and human beings only to a few safe areas.

But as the surface of the deposited muck is drying with the rise in temperatures, rescue teams have been directed to launch search operations closer to the river, and to try to approach the barrage at Tapovan using machines. Over people are feared missing from near the barrage on the Dhauli Ganga in Tapovan. There is no saying when or if any of those who were washed away by the river would be found, officials said. Chamoli Chief Medical Officer Dr G S Rana said that the labourers whose bodies were recovered from the tunnel and in the mud in Raini village, likely died within half an hour.
