3 killed, 6 missing after cloudburst hits U'khand

UTTARAKHAND is grappling with the aftermath of a devastating cloudburst that struck the Baligarh area on the Barkot-Yamunotri road early Sunday, sweeping away at least 20 labourers from an under-construction hotel site, killing at least three of them. The rescue teams have so far managed to save 11 of the labourers, and the other six are still missing.

The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) recovered one body from the debris, and the police retrieved two bodies at a distance of 18 kilometres.
