Children are scared of crossing the river as the flow of water is getting increased. Aglar river is a major Himalayan tributary of the river Yamuna. It rises as a number of small streams fed by underground water on the western slopes of the ridge separating the drainage of the Yamuna and Bhagirathi to the west of Tehri.
