Himachal Pradesh suffers devastating monsoon impact

Himachal Pradesh has been facing nonstop heavy rains for over a week, leading to floods and landslides. At least 51 people have lost their lives and six are still missing.
Mandi district got almost double its usual June rainfall.
The IMD says there might be a short break from July 1, but more rain is likely until July 6.

TL;DR

The floods have wrecked roads, homes, and power lines—over 400 roads are closed and more than 1,500 transformers are down.
Many villages are cut off, making rescue work tough. Damage to water supply schemes and public works has crossed ₹356 crore.
Authorities are working round the clock on relief efforts but urge everyone to avoid risky travel as the weather remains unpredictable.
