In 1969-70, an obscure village—Garadiya-Kund, some 8 km from Pauri in the Garhwal hills of Uttar Pradesh (UP, and now Uttarakhand)—scored a unique distinction.

A family from Haryana, who had come to visit Jogiana village, was staying at a resort near Mohan Chatti in Pauri Garhwal, which was buried under the debris due to a landslide on Sunday night.

DEHRADUN: Barely 25km from Rishikesh, residents of Sendudi gram sabha in Pauri Garhwal's Yamkeshwar block are worried. Their houses have developed cracks and the hills have fissures at some locations.
