[HOT] [Talk-in] Fw: [CrisisMappers] 25 killed; 24,000 stranded as rain wreaks havoc in Uttarakhand, India

[Ishan Chattopadhyaya]

Indeed..
As far as I could tell from media reports, the boundary box appears to be:
UL: 31.099982,78.150329
BR: 29.792984,80.100403

On the lower left edges of the bbox, Dehradun is likely not affected, but
Haridwar is.
