Eight road construction workers lost their lives in an avalanche in northern India, as confirmed by the Indian Army. Rescuers were able to evacuate 46 others despite severe weather conditions hindering their efforts. The avalanche occurred early Friday in Mana, Uttarakhand, where snow covered the workers' campsite. Disaster response teams utilized advanced technology, including GPS and thermal imaging, to conduct the rescue. The Meteorological Department has warned of potential further avalanches in the region, which is recognized as a significant area for Himalayan trekking and has previously experienced devastating natural disasters.
As crews combed through the snow in Mana under extreme weather conditions, 46 workers were evacuated while the search continued for eight others, unfortunately confirmed dead.
The avalanche struck a construction workers’ camp in Mana, Uttarakhand, known to be at a high altitude and particularly vulnerable to natural disasters like avalanches and floods.
