NEW DELHI: Terrifying visuals have emerged from Rakkar in Dharamshala and other higher reaches where a flashflood triggered by a multiple cloudbursts created havoc in the region.The videos emerged a day after at least 15-20 workers were swept away near the Indira Priyadarshini Hydroelectric Project in Khaniyara village in Kangra district. A horrifying video, filmed near the Nature Pool café, captures the sheer ferocity of the water gushing through the valley, destroying everything in its path.

We are coordinating with the administration and rescue teams are on the ground.”The viral video, which has now being circulated widely on social media, has left viewers stunned. The sheer force and speed of the flash flood — hurtling through forested terrain, engulfing structures, and sending debris flying is terrifying.(With agency inputs)
