Four labourers from Nepal were killed early Friday in a landslide in Rudraprayag district, while one person was swept away in the Ganga in Haridwar district as heavy overnight rain lashed various parts of Uttarakhand.

Landslides triggered by heavy rain also blocked the national highways to Badrinath, Kedarnath and Yamunotri. Water and slush from a flooded Pathri Rau river entered about 70 homes on Thursday night in Hari Akshay Nagar Phase 1 near Roorkee and broke the colony`s boundary wall, the State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) here said.
