Indian Video News-Uttarakhand tragedy: Govindghat, now a ghost town-Newsmasthi.com

Hundreds of flies buzzed busily around uncollected garbage strewn along the main road. Home and shop owners seemed to have had just enough time to lock their homes and leave their town in an eerie silence. The ground under the helipad - belonging to a company that ferried rich pilgrims to Hemkund Sahib and right near the banks of the Alaknanda - had swept away.

The smell of death and destruction is nauseating enough to send us in a tizzy. Govindghat is now a ghost town.

Travelling from Dehradun to Joshimath, the carnage the flash floods had caused in several parts of Uttarakhand was obvious to us. The river had changed its course dramatically at many places, gobbling all that came in its way. Homes, guest houses, roads, vehicles, dams and people, nothing was spared.
