FROM KEDARNATH TO DHARALI
NEW DELHI: The death and destruction left behind by the flash floods in the Kheer Ganga river in Dharali resurrected painful memories for Geeta, a survivor of the 2013 Kedarnath disaster, who lost four family members in that tragedy, India's worst since the 2004 tsunami.
"The same thing happened in Kedarnath," she exclaimed as visuals played out on a television at a house in New Delhi where she now works as a domestic help.
The 2013 disaster was triggered by more than 300 mm of rain in 24 hours as an early intense monsoon surge interacted with a western disturbance. The extreme rainfall, combined with rapid snowmelt, breached the moraine dam of Chorabari Lake, unleashing massive floods that killed around 5,700 people.
