[QUOTE="TnWatchdog, post: 70776, member: 3077"] [IMG]http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/303427/slide_303427_2584437_free.jpg?1371577320085[/IMG] [SIZE=7]India Floods 2013: Rescue Efforts Hampered By Bad Weather[/SIZE] GAUCHAR, India — Bad weather hampered efforts Sunday to evacuate thousands of people stranded in the northern India state of Uttarakhand, where at least 1,000 people have died in monsoon flooding and landslides, army officials said. The army resumed helicopter flights to rescue stranded people late Sunday after rain stopped and dense fog lifted in the Himalayan region, Brig. Uma Maheshwar said. Thousands of people were still stranded in high mountain passes in the temple town of Badrinath and rescue efforts were concentrated on getting them to safety. Troops built makeshift bridges at several places, Maheshwar said. Despite poor visibility, more than 2,000 people were transported by helicopter to relief camps in the state capital, Dehradun, said Priya Joshi, an air force spokeswoman. India's national disaster response force used drone aircraft to locate survivors in remote areas that remained inaccessible. Hundreds of thousands of devout Hindus make a pilgrimage to Uttarakhand, visiting four of Hinduism's holiest shrines in the state during the summer months. The tourists usually head down to the plains before the monsoon breaks in July. But this year, early rains caught hundreds of thousands of tourists, pilgrims and local residents. The crisis began when torrential rains washed away homes and roads and triggered landslides that cut off communication links with large parts of the state nearly a week ago. State Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna told reporters late Saturday that the death toll had reached 1,000. The exact number of people who have died in the heavy downpours and flooding of the Ganges River and its tributaries won't be known until rescue efforts end, he said.
