The river water levels have gone up with the arrival of monsoon in Uttarakhand. The sudden surge has wreaked havoc in many parts of the state. In Haridwar, heavy rainfall caused the strong currents of a seasonal river to wash away many vehicles parked in a cremation ground.
According to the visuals shared by news agency ANI, several cars and buses can be seen submerged in an overflowing seasonal river in Har ki Pauri. The strong currents swept away buses and eight cars parked in the cremation ground.
In a video, a cop can be issuing a warning to the pilgrims and locals to not go near the river. “The water levels in the river have risen suddenly after the rainfall. Everyone is requested to not go near the river,” he said.
