Cars Seen Floating In Flooded River As Heavy Rain Lashes Haridwar

Normally dry, the Sukhi riverbed is often used as a parking area. However, the sudden flood carried cars away into the river, which flows into the Ganga nearby.

“Due to heavy rains in Haridwar, the water level of Ganga has increased considerably. Some people had parked their vehicles near dry Sukhi river instead of parking places, which started flowing into the Ganga river due to heavy rains,” Uttarakhand police said in a statement.

There has been no loss of life in the incident, police said.

“Please park your vehicles in the designated parking places only,” it advised people.
