An avalanche hit Uttarakhand near the border village of Malari in Chamoli district on Monday, an official said. The avalanche occurred over the Kunti, a tributary of the Dhauli Ganga river near Malari, District Information Officer Ravindra Singh Negi said.     Â
However, there is no report of any damage to life and property, he said. Avalanches over the Kunti are common around this time of the year. A road from Joshimath goes to Malari, which is located in the Niti valley about 50 kilometres away from the subsidence-hit town.
