Uttarakhand News: 8–9 Workers Missing At Hotel Site In Uttarkashi; Rescue Ops On
June 29, 2025: Uttarakhand – Authorities in Uttarkashi are racing against time after a devastating cloudburst struck the under-construction hotel site near Paligad‑Silai Band in Barkot Tehsil at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, leaving 8–9 workers missing, believed swept away by flash floods and debris.
NDRF, SDRF, and local police have been dispatched to conduct search-and-rescue operations, with aerial drones, ground teams, and specialized forces combing through treacherous terrain.
Heavy monsoon rains have blocked key highways, including the Barkot‑Yamunotri and Sonprayag‑Munkatiya routes, disrupting pilgrim traffic and local transit near Kedarnath.
A massive search effort continues in the region, with authorities warning of more cloudbursts expected as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warns of ongoing heavy rain and potential isolated storms in Uttarakhand.
