comparative analysis of satellite images of 07.08.2025 (post-event) and available cloud-free pre-event data (13.06.2024) revealed the extent and severity of the destruction. The salient findings include: Indications of flash flood, with widened stream channels, altered river morphology and damage to human lives & infrastructure. Fan-shaped deposit of sediment & debris at Dharali village (~20ha area, ~750m X ~450m), at the confluence of the Kheer Gad & Bhagirathi River. Partial / complete destruction and disappearance of several buildings in the flood-affected zone, likely submerged or swept away by the intense mud flow and debris. A number of buildings appear to be submerged with mud / debris, in Dharali village.

Satellite imagery by ISRO shows the extent of damage to Dharali village which was been wiped out in toto. 100s of people are expected to have been burried alive in meters of debris.
