Uttarakhand: 'Orange' alert for rain in Nainital, Bageshwar on Friday


DEHRADUN: The India Meteorological Department has issued an 'orange' alert for Uttarakhand's Nainital and Bageshwar districts, forecasting heavy to very heavy rainfall in some areas on Friday.

Meanwhile, traffic on the Badrinath National Highway and the Kedarnath pilgrimage route was briefly disrupted due to falling debris and stones from the hills, officials said.

The monsoon arrived in Uttarakhand on June 30 and became active across the entire state by Wednesday. According to the Dehradun-based Meteorological Centre, light to moderate rainfall was observed in various regions on Thursday.
