Uttarakhand Avalanche | 4 Dead, 50 Rescued In Uttarakhand Avalanche, 5 Workers Still Missing

One of the 48 workers of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), who were rescued from the debris of an avalanche that hit Uttarakhand's Chamoli on Friday, died during treatment for injuries. Seven are yet to be retrieved. All rescued workers are undergoing treatment at the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) camp in Mana.

Over 65 personnel plowed through almost seven feet of snow overnight in the area between Mana village and Mana Pass, near the Indo-Tibetan border, even as snow storms and poor visibility hampered rescued operations. The urgency to rescue the remaining workers increased as the state's Meteorological Department issued a rain and snowfall alert in Chamoli district. Chances of light rain have also been predicted in Dehradun, Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Tehri, Pauri, Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, Almora, Nainital and Champawat.
