Both injured individuals were immediately sent to Haldwani for medical treatment. Their condition is reported to be stable.   

The incident is part of a broader weather crisis affecting North India, where persistent heavy rainfall has triggered widespread landslides, flash floods, and infrastructure breakdowns. In Uttarakhand, one of the worst-hit states, a series of cloudbursts in August led to devastating flash floods and landslides, which have left at least 69 people missing and thousands displaced.   

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rainfall in northwest India, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, and Haryana, among others, until September 7, reports the Lokmat Times.
