Shops, Hotels Swept Away: Sahastradhara Market Devastated By Cloudburst In Dehradun

The popular Sahastradhara area in Dehradun has suffered massive destruction following a cloudburst in Uttarakhand that triggered flash floods and heavy rainfall. The local market - home to resorts, hotels, and shops - was completely ravaged, with structures swept away or severely damaged. Fortunately, due to the off-season, there were no tourists present at the time; only staff members were on-site when the disaster struck. Rescue operations are still underway in and around the area. Overall, the state has reported at least 15 deaths and 16 missing, while over 900 people remain stranded, with waterlogging reported from various parts of Dehradun, including IT Park and the Saharanpur Road area.
