The Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) has expressed deep grief over the loss of lives and destruction caused by the recent floods and landslides in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, and other states.
In a statement, DHCBA President, Senior Advocate N Hariharan, shared the association’s condolences and support for those affected, especially in Uttarkashi, where tragedy struck earlier this week.
On August 5, a flash flood hit Uttarkashi district after a cloudburst. At least five people lost their lives and over 50 are still missing. Dharali village, on the way to Gangotri Dham, has suffered extensive damaged.
Road connectivity to the region was cut off. The Char Dham Yatra was also disrupted by landslides and flooding. The Indian Army is helping by treating the injured at its medical centre in Harsil.
"The Delhi High Court Bar Association is deeply saddened by the devastating floods and landslides that have ravaged several states, including Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Bihar. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people and communities affected by this calamity," Hariharan stated this in a statement.
DHCBA has called on its members and the wider legal community in Delhi to come forward and help with relief efforts. “Your generosity and support will go a long way in alleviating the suffering of those affected,” the statement said.
Rescue and relief operations are still underway. Teams are working to find the missing and restore vital roads and services.
