In a dramatic video shared by ANI, part of a mountain can be seen collapsing in Uttarakhand's Chamoli area, close to the Badrinath-Joshimath highway due to a massive landslide on Friday morning.

Since the area was vacant at the time, no casualties have been reported so far. Several reports of landslides and floods are surfacing from Uttarakhand amid incessant rains in the state.

Apart from Uttarakhand, neighboring state Himachal Pradesh is also experiencing heavy rainfall. The continuous rainfall has triggered landslides at a number of places, blocking traffic movement. Three highways and around 100 motorable roads in various parts of the state are blocked due to debris.
