The correct answer is option 4, Uttarakhand. The question asks which state was affected by heavy rains and cloudbursts in the summer of 2013, resulting in the devastation of numerous villages, roads, and bridges. However, it is important to note that the provided answer does not provide a detailed explanation of why Uttarakhand is the correct choice. Uttarakhand is a state located in northern India that is known for its hilly terrain and dense forests. In 2013, the state experienced severe heavy rains and cloudbursts, leading to flash floods and landslides. These natural disasters caused widespread devastation, resulting in the destruction of thousands of villages, roads, and bridges. The state government and various relief organizations had to undertake extensive rescue and rehabilitation efforts to assist the affected population.
