Relentless overnight rainfall severely disrupted normal life across Uttarakhand on Monday, triggering landslides, blocking several key routes, including the Badrinath National Highway, and cutting off connectivity to many rural areas.

In view of the prevailing weather conditions, authorities also ordered the closure of schools across affected districts. The Badrinath National Highway has been blocked at multiple locations, including Bhanarpani, Gulabkoti and Birahi-Nijmula, due to debris and continuous stonefall.
