Three days after the tragedy hit Dharali village in Uttarakhand state, Devi and other residents who survived the disaster are angry that the operation to find those stuck under the debris is not progressing faster.
“My son is gone,“ said Devi, 52. “There must have been over 100 people buried alive in the debris and we did not receive any help to save our loved ones,“ she told Reuters at a relief camp in nearby Matli village on Friday.
Over two days, military helicopters rescued more than 600 people, according to a state government estimate.
“There could be more than 200 people who are missing and the rescue forces are only taking out the tourists. They need to save locals buried under the debris as well,“ he said.
“It is obvious that those who have lost their loved ones would be angry,“ he said. “We are bringing back every person. We have deployed sniffer dogs, thermal cameras to find people in the debris.”
Vinod Kumar Suman, Uttarakhand's secretary for disaster management, said the department had commissioned a report on the cause.
“Without a proper study we cannot conclude that it was a glacial lake outburst,“ he said. “There was only 8 mm rainfall there. We have asked a team of scientists to study and tell us the exact cause.”-REUTERS
