Uttarakhand, Himachal and adjoining areas has been hit by torrential rain, landslides and flash floods. The erratic weather conditions have been attributed to early monsoons in Northern India due to which early warnings were not provided and people have been affected adversely. River Ganges and its major tributaries of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi have swelled up, causing widespread destruction downstream. Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh, has received the highest rainfall in 20 years over the last three days.
