Meanwhile, the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) on Monday removed the debris and slush at the tunnel near Tapovan dam, following the glacier burst which led to heavy flooding in Dhauliganga and Alaknanda rivers.
Indo-Tibetan Border Ppolice, Indian Army, the SDRF and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) forces are engaged in the retrieval in the affected areas.
Tapovan Hydro-Electric Power Dam, also known as Rishi Ganga Project, was completely washed off following a glacier burst in Chamoli, said the Indian Air Force’s initial report on Sunday.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said only experts can tell the reason behind the glacier outburst, adding the government is focusing on saving the lives of people and the rescue operation.
