Harshil/Uttarkashi: In a prompt display of courage and commitment, the Indian Army responded within minutes to a landslide that struck near Dharali village, Uttarakhand, on 5 August 2025. The disaster site lies just 4 km from the Army’s Harshil camp, allowing troops to launch immediate rescue and relief operations.

Rescue Within Minutes: Army Mobilises 150 Troops

At approximately 1:45 PM, a massive landslide engulfed parts of Dharali village, a remote settlement in Uttarkashi district. The terrain’s unpredictability and sudden collapse triggered widespread panic among locals. Within 10 minutes of the incident, 150 personnel from the Indian Army mobilised and reached the site—an emergency response made possible due to the proximity of the Harshil base and the Army’s high-altitude readiness.

Rescue teams moved in swiftly, navigating difficult terrain to extract trapped individuals and ensure their safe evacuation. As of now, more than 20 civilians have been safely rescued and relocated to secure areas.

Timely Medical Aid Saves Lives

The injured were immediately transported to the Indian Army’s medical facility in Harshil, where they are receiving timely and professional medical care. The Army’s rapid deployment of paramedical teams ensured that no time was lost in administering first aid and stabilising critical cases.

Field medics and support teams remain stationed at the Army base, providing sustained care to the evacuated and closely monitoring recovery efforts.

Operations Continue Amidst Uncertainty

Even as evacuations progress, search and rescue operations are still underway. The Indian Army has deployed all available resources to trace and assist any remaining stranded individuals. Troops are conducting coordinated ground searches in the unstable terrain, aided by local administration and disaster response authorities.

Helplines and communications have also been activated to coordinate with nearby villages and ensure no one is left unaccounted for.

Army’s Unwavering Support to the Region

The Indian Army reaffirmed its commitment to stand by the people of Uttarkashi in this difficult time. The ongoing operation not only highlights the Army’s operational preparedness in high-altitude emergencies but also its unwavering dedication to humanitarian efforts under its guiding ethos of Nation First.

As monsoon conditions continue to impact the region, military and civil authorities remain on high alert for potential aftershocks or additional landslide threats. Army teams remain deployed for ongoing support, relief, and restoration of normalcy in the area.
