Rains stall relief operations in Uttarakhand
July 20, 2013
Moderate to heavy rains today lashed most parts of Uttarakhand, stalling ongoing relief operations and work on restoration of damaged roads in the calamity-hit state.        

Low visibility conditions induced by an overcast sky and intermittent rains kept a central team -- which is on a mission to assess the damage caused by the recent calamity in the state -- confined in Pauri.        

The team was supposed to undertake an aerial survey of the affected areas near Badrinath, Gangotri and Dharchula areas and interact with flood-hit people, official sources said.
