Caught on camera: Two youths survive as landslide hits moving bike in Haridwar | VIDEO

Haridwar: Two youths had a narrow escape after landslide debris fell on them while they were riding a bike amid heavy rainfall in Haridwar, Uttarakhand.

Visuals of the incident show commuters navigating a rain-soaked road as traffic moved slowly. Suddenly, debris from a landslide crashed down onto the road, striking a moving bike.

Shocked onlookers watched as the debris appeared to fall directly onto the rider and pillion passenger. Miraculously, both managed to survive the incident and got back on their feet.

Meanwhile, heavy rainfall has caused severe waterlogging in various parts of Haridwar on Tuesday. Due to the rising water level of the Ganga River, police appeal to people to stay away from the ghats and exercise caution.

Northern Railways said that a boulder came on the track between the Haridwar-Motichur section on the Haridwar-Dehradun route, and traffic will be restored as early as possible.

"Between the Haridwar-Motichur section on the Haridwar-Dehradun route, a boulder came on the track. Since the Railways had already made a canopy, no major damage took place. No injury or casualty reported. Restoration work started, and the sectional officers have reached the site. Traffic will be restored as early as possible," Northern Railways said in a statement.

Meanwhile, train number 12369 and train number 12370 (Kumbh Express between Howrah and Dehradun) and train number 12055 Jan Shatabdi Express were short-terminated at Haridwar.
