Twitter Reactions: Uttarakhand glacier burst leaves Bollywood sad and distressed

At least 50 workers trapped inside a tunnel in Rishiganga are feared dead after a portion of Nanda Devi glacier broke off in Tapovan area of Joshimath in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district on Sunday morning and damaged the Rishiganga dam on Alaknanda river.

All districts are on high alert and people have been warned not to venture near the Ganga river. He also appealed to people to not spread rumours through old flood videos. Now,  Bollywood celebrities  took to their social media handles, praying for the safety of the people affected by the avalanche. People from all over the country have been sending prayers for the people of Uttarakhand.

Building too many dams in the Himalayas has lead to this. Prayers for the people of Chamoli. Please contact Disaster Operations Center number 1070 or 9557444486 for help. #Uttarakhandhttps://t.co/x6D9X4laSj

Force of nature - saddened to see a disaster unfolding #Uttarakhand - except that with all our callous approach to climate change/ global warming - not sure we can call these ‘natural disasters’ anymore !!
