Uttarakhand, the mountainous northern state that hosts Dharali, has been devastated by cloudbursts before. A June 2013 cloudburst killed over 6,000 people in Uttarakhand and surrounding states, becoming the country's worst natural disaster in ten years. In 2021, flash flooding triggered by a cloudburst killed over 200.

The flood buried half of Dharali village, built on a dried river course, and washed away an Army camp in Harshil. Six people have been declared dead and 69 remain missing. The report recommended further puncturing of the lakes formed after the landslides to safely release water and reduce the risk downstream.
