In a heart-wrenching tragedy this morning, continuous rainfall in Uttarkashi led to the collapse of a house wall,


killing four members of a single family—two of them young children. The incident occurred during the early hours, when the victims were inside their home in a vulnerable locality of the district.


Rescue teams and police reached the site quickly, but the damage was already done. Locals helped retrieve the bodies from under the debris. Officials are assessing the structural failure and whether poor drainage or weak construction contributed to the collapse.


The region has seen persistent monsoon rain for the past several days, and authorities had already issued warnings for landslides and damage in hilly areas. This incident has once again exposed the harsh realities

faced by families living in unstable, rain-prone areas.
