SEE PICS | Uttarakhand Floods: Death Toll Rises as Heavy Rains Batter State The inclement weather has left a trail of devastation — from places such as Ramgarh’s Talla remaining under water to people missing in Nainital, which has been cut off from the rest of the state as three key roads leading to the popular tourist hub remain blocked due to a series of landslides. Out of them, six people are stranded in Badrinath and Kedarnath, he said, adding that due to heavy rainfall helicopters can’t reach the spots, so authorities are waiting for better weather conditions. The Chardham Devasthanam Board said the yatra has been temporarily halted for the sake of safety of pilgrims in view of the heavy rain alert issued by the Uttarakhand meteorological department for October 17-19.
