Uttarakhand: Heavy Rain Lashes Dehradun as 97 Roads Remain Blocked; Schools Shut Today · republicworld.com

It has been raining a lot in Uttarakhand, India, and the heavy rain is causing problems for people.

Many roads are blocked by mud and rocks, so people cannot travel easily.

Schools in Dehradun were closed for one day to keep children and teachers safe.

Weather experts said more rain is coming and told people to stay away from rivers because water can rise very fast.

Sadly, seven workers died and one person is still missing in that accident.
