The flooding in the Dhauli Ganga, Rishi Ganga and Alaknanda rivers,&nbsp;which&nbsp;left at least 70 people dead and 125 missing, was caused by a massive rockslide, according to&nbsp;scientific findings released on Friday by International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD).

The Election Commission has asked the Union government to stop using Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s photo on Covid-19 vaccination certificates in states headed to Assembly elections. The poll panel's order came on a complaint by the Trinamool Congress earlier this week.
The EC wrote to the Health Ministry on Friday reiterating its standing instructions against promoting the party in power through government means when the Model Code of Conduct was in force.
The Ministry was instructed to implement the instructions with regard to the vaccination certificates being distributed in poll-bound states West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry.
The EC&rsquo;s decision came after the Health Ministry, in its reply to the panel, said the vaccination drive was an ongoing government initiative that had started much before the Model Code of Conduct came into force a week ago.
The Health Ministry will now have to update its software to introduce a filter that would mask the PM&rsquo;s picture on the certificate, say reports.

The Freedom House report which downgraded India's status to "partly free" is misleading, incorrect and misplaced, the centre said in a statement on Friday. Titled 'Democracy Under Siege', the report was compiled by US-based democracy watchdog Freedom House.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said many states in India are ruled by parties other than the one at the national level which shows India's federal structure. It went on to add that the parties are voted to power through an election process that is free and fair and conducted by an independent election body.
Responding to allegations of crackdown on dissent in the Freedom House report, the I&amp;B Ministry said the Indian Constitution provides for freedom of expression under Article 19. Discussion, debate and dissent are part of Indian democracy, the Centre added.
Rebutting a claim in the report that suggested discriminatory policies against Muslims in the context of the North East Delhi riots, the Centre said it treats all its citizens with equality as enshrined under the Constitution.
