53 passengers were rescued after a bus got stuck in a river swollen due to heavy rains in Uttarakhand's Haridwar. 

A video shared by ANI showed passengers walking away from the bus while holding onto each other. 

They managed to reach a bridge from where they moved to safety by grabbing a rope thrown for them.

Police confirmed that all passengers have been rescued.

The state has suffered massive damages due to rains, floods and landslides this monsoon.

According to CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, the state has suffered losses worth over ₹ 1,000 crore.

"Heavy rains this monsoon have destroyed crops, washed away roads, bridges, houses and cowsheds and also claimed the lives of several people and cattle," he said last month.
