A huge landslide hit Chamoli district in Uttarakhand on Thursday (September 18), burying over 30 houses under deep debris after heavy rainfall.
Villages like Kuntari Lagaphali and Sera are now cut off with power lines down, leaving the area isolated.

14 feared dead or trapped

Rescue teams are working around the clock—two women were pulled out from a collapsed house and one man was found alive after 15 hours under rubble, but his family is still missing.
So far, one body has been recovered, with 14 people feared dead or trapped and about 20 injured.
With over 100 lives lost to landslides in Uttarakhand since April, officials are urging extra caution as relief work continues amid tough weather.
