Boy Killed, Family Injured After Boulder Falls on House in Uttarakhand
A big rock fell on a house in India because of heavy rain.
Inside, a 12-year-old boy died, and his family got hurt.
Rescue teams came quickly to help.
They pulled the boy out, but he was gone.
The rain also caused the river to get higher.
Because of the rising water, people can't go near the river in some places.
A 12-year-old boy died and four others were injured after a boulder fell on their house.
The incident occurred in Devat village, Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand at 1:50 AM.
Emergency responders, including police, fire, and SDRF, were deployed for rescue.
Rescuers extracted the boy's body from the debris.
Heavy rains have caused rising water levels in the River Ganga; public access to ghats is restricted.
