Pilgrims and tourists traveling in Uttarakhand are urged to exercise extreme caution as heavy rainfall continues to batter the state. Multiple landslides on Sunday severely disrupted the Char Dham Yatra circuit. Key stretches of the Yamunotri National Highway (NH-134), including Syana Chatti and Paligad, experienced severe boulder falls. Though emergency highway teams successfully reopened NH-134 by 5:00 PM on Sunday, routes like NH-507 near Dehradun’s Lakhwar Dam and several rural roads remain heavily compromised by debris.

With the IMD issuing a critical ‘Red Alert’ for Dehradun, Tehri, and Haridwar on Monday, further flash floods and landslides are highly anticipated. If you are currently commuting or planning a trip through the vulnerable hill districts, you are advised to halt non-essential travel. Local administrations have intensified safety measures and restricted vehicle movements in high-risk zones to ensure commuter safety.
