Dehradun, Sept. 19 -- Over 2,000 tourists were stranded in Mussoorie. Debris on the roads and collapsed bridges prevented vehicles from moving or evacuating. However, in this time of crisis, locals set an example by providing food, water, and shelter to the tourists. One tourist said, "We were stranded for three days, but the locals came as angels to us."

Recognising the gravity of the situation, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and Cabinet Minister Ganesh Joshi personally arrived at the scene. They reviewed the situation with officials from the administration, disaster management, and public works departments. Relief work was immediately initiated in the affected areas.
