Tourist Drowns at Sahastradhara Waterfall in Dehradun Amid Rising Water Levels
A 50-year-old tourist from Delhi, Nauth Ram, drowned while bathing at the Sahastradhara waterfall in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, marking the second such death at the site this month. The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) recovered his body near the Pandavwala Bridge, about 2 km from the waterfall. Rising water levels due to recent rainfall have increased risks in rivers and streams across the region. Earlier, 25-year-old Neha Arya from Panipat also died after being swept away at the same location.
