An Indo-Tibetan Border Police official in Dharali said the force is manually digging through the debris where a hotel stood before the disaster hit. "A hotel stood here. There was movement of people in front of it when the disaster struck. The debris here is being dug manually with the help of radar equipment as people might be buried here," he said. Uttarkashi District Magistrate Prashant Arya, who has been stationed in the affected area, visited Harsil in the morning to review efforts being made to reduce the water levels of a lake formed in the wake of the flash floods, which also caused extensive damage to an Army camp in the area.
