A large landslide in Uttarakhand was recorded on camera, prompting local authorities to investigate the incident.
A massive landslide was filmed in the hilly terrain of Uttarakhand, with the footage quickly circulating on social media platforms. The video shows a sudden surge of earth and rocks moving down a steep slope, engulfing a forested area and a narrow road.
State disaster management officials confirmed that the incident occurred in a remote part of the state and that rescue teams have been dispatched to assess any damage and locate possible victims. Preliminary statements suggest heavy monsoon rains in recent days may have destabilised the soil, a common trigger for such events in the region.
Authorities have warned residents in nearby villages to remain vigilant, avoid low‑lying roads, and cooperate with emergency services. Continuous monitoring of the affected zone is underway, and further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
