1. Rising water level in Rishiganga and Dhauliganga
Glaciers in Tapovan area of Chamoli broke at Rishiganga around 10:30 am. This caused the river to rise. Here the river goes to Raini village and meets Dhauliganga so its water level also increased. Houses along the rivers were flooded. The surrounding villages were then evacuated.
2. Damage
to Rishiganga and NTPC Project Rishiganga Power Project is located in Raini village on the banks of Rishiganga river. The project is completely ruined. About 15-20 workers are missing from here. The bridge constructed by the Border Road Organization on Joshimath Malaria Highway here has also collapsed. The rescue team has reached here. The water level also rose where the water of Rishiganga meets Dhauliganga. Water seeped into the NTPC project. As a result, two swing bridges connecting the village were also washed away. There are reports of deaths of about 150 workers working on the NTPC project.
