The Ganga has also assumed a dangerous form in Rishikesh, inundating several areas as the river continues to flow at a high level. In Haridwar, the river’s flow has intensified amid persistent rainfall. With the situation worsening in several parts of the state, the Uttarakhand government has issued a high alert and urged people living in low-lying and vulnerable areas to remain cautious and follow official advisories.
