Districts affected included Dehradun, Almora, Bageshwar, Chamoli, Uttarkashi, Pithoragarh, Tehri and Rudraprayag, officials said. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the next four days in several districts, warning of light to moderate rainfall along with thunderstorms. The Char Dham yatra, which had been suspended on September 1 due to heavy rainfall and road blockages, resumed with pilgrims heading to Kedarnath and Badrinath.
