Rescue ops continued in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli following the February 7 glacial disaster.

So far, rescuers have recovered at least 70 bodies while several others are still missing.

Experts have inspected the site, while a constant vigil is being maintained on the lake.

Water was pumped out of the tunnel and excavation up to 180 meters was complete.

The devastating flash flood demolished a 13.2 MW hydel project along the river.

It caused extensive damage to NTPC's Tapovan-Vishnugad hydel project along Dhauliganga.
