Dehradun, Sep 9 (PTI) Three persons were killed in landslides as heavy rains and snowfall lashed Uttarakhand.
Purola in Uttarkashi district witnessed 105 mm rainfall, while New Tehri recorded 46.2 mm, Dehradun 41.0 mm and Nainital 31 mm, the Met office said here, adding widespread and incessant rains have been reported from the state since last evening.
Three persons were killed and five others injured when boulders fell on two vehicles passing through Chhara-Lohari road following heavy rains in Almora district last evening.
The higher reaches of Himalaya received snowfall forcing residents to take out their woollens. Landslides occurred at several places enroute to Gangotri and Yamunotri shrines in Uttarkashi, leading to suspension of yatra.
Officials said that PWD and BRO personnel have been pressed into service to clear the debris on the roads.
The roads to Kedarnath and Badrinath are, however, open, they said.
