India Sudden cloudburst floods, torrents continue- 15-16 Sept 15 people died- Al Jazeera video n transcript at Heating Planet blog
TRANSCRIPT: Sudden floods and landslides have turned
0:02
rivers like these into raging torrents.
0:05
People living in Uttar Khan state can
0:07
only watch as flood waters swallow their
0:09
homes.
0:12
There have been huge losses due to heavy
0:13
rains on the night of the 15th and 16th
0:16
of September. At least 15 people have
0:18
died. Some are injured and some are
0:20
missing. Disaster management teams have
0:22
been undertaking rescue and relief
0:24
operations.
0:26
The devastation was triggered by a cloud
0:27
burst, a sudden heavy downpour in a
0:30
concentrated area over a short period of
0:32
time. It's wrecked communities across
0:34
northern India.
0:38
In Missouri, around 1,000 tourists are
0:40
stranded. The repair work is progressing
0:43
so the road can start functioning and
0:45
the people who are stuck can commute.
0:47
Those portions of the road where the
0:49
roads caved in are being repaired. Hill
0:52
cutting is being done so that a safe
0:54
passage is created.
0:56
In the northeast, the floods have
0:58
brought more chaos in Manipur. Waters
1:01
from overflowing rivers forced the
1:02
removal of patients from a government
1:04
hospital in the state capital in Pal.
1:07
Yesterday we had 424 patients out of
1:10
which 29 were still in the ICU and we
1:14
had a hard time to vacate the ICU
1:17
patient. Entire streets have been
1:19
submerged leaving people cut off.
1:22
All the facilities have stopped and
1:24
especially in my hostel there's no food
1:26
and without electricity we can't cook
1:28
also. There's no connection also we can
1:30
go here and there. So we are like
1:31
literally stuck in a place and uh like
1:34
since it happened last time also but
1:36
nothing has improved.
1:38
Experts say climate change is making
1:40
floods like these more frequent and more
1:42
intense but ordinary people are
1:44
suffering the most again and again. Asal
