The  Chamba-Rishikesh National Highway-94 and Chamoli-Badrinath- NH- 58 have been blocked due to landslides. 
 
Rescue operations are on to get the traffic moving.
 
The Met Department has also predicted more rains in Uttarakhand.

The rescue operations are hit in Himachal too as landslides continue to affect the areas.
 
With Met department predicting more rains here, there is also a fear of rivers raising above the safety mark and overflowing which could cause flood.
