Haridwar: Cars washed away as water rises in river
With the onset of monsoon, the rainy season has also started in Uttarakhand. The water level of the Sukhi river suddenly increased after the rain in Haridwar on Saturday afternoon. Many cars were washed away in the river due to the rising water level of the Sukhi river which ultimately meets the Ganga.
A huge crowd of people gathered to see the cars floating in the Ganga river. However, the matter of relief was that there was no loss of life or property reported due to the cars floating in the river. The cars that were swept away were stuck at the Khadkhadi Ghat after the river overflowed.
