Uttarakhand Bridge Collapses

A devastating flash flood in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district has resulted in the collapse of a metal bridge. The bridge, which was a crucial connectivity link for the local population, was swept away by the swollen river. The incident is a stark reminder of the state's susceptibility to natural disasters, particularly during the monsoon season. The flash flood was triggered by heavy rainfall in the region, which caused the river to overflow its banks. The authorities are yet to assess the full extent of the damage caused by the flood.
