Himachal Pradesh: Heavy rain and flash floods disrupt life in Kullu

Life was disrupted after heavy rainfall and flash floods hit Kullu district in Himachal Pradesh. As many as 19 people were rescued in the incident. Incessant rains have caused massive landslides on national highways in Shimla, Kinnaur and Mandi hampering vehicular traffic. Schools will remain closed in eight districts in the state on Monday. The chief minister has directed to ensure that roads are cleared of landslides at the earliest and that strict vigils are kept on the rising water level of the Chamera and Pandoh dams so authorities can issue early warnings.
