Flash floods in Himachal Pradesh's Kullu district cause havoc

Flash floods hit Kullu district in Himachal Pradesh after heavy cloudbursts, leaving three people missing.
Jeeva Nallah, Rehla Bihal, and Shilagarh saw homes, a school, and roads badly damaged.
In Rehla Bihal, the missing were swept away while trying to save their belongings.

TL;DR

Search operation on; rivers rising fast

Kullu's ADC Ashwani Kumar says teams are searching for the missing.
Floods have also affected Manali and Banjar, with more flash floods reported nearby.
Water levels in the Beas and Sutlej rivers are rising fast—so local leaders are urging everyone to stay away from riverbanks.
Landslides have also blocked key roads in Lahaul and Spiti, making travel tough across the region.
