Kangra Reels Under Monsoon Fury: Landslides Cripple District

Heavy rainfall lashed Kangra district on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, triggering widespread landslides and blocking over 70 roads. The incessant downpour caused significant disruption to daily life.

While National Highway authorities worked tirelessly to clear major arteries, many crucial link roads remained inaccessible. This hampered relief efforts and isolated several villages.

The calamity also disrupted essential services. Water and electricity supplies were severely affected, leaving many residents stranded without basic amenities.

Tragedy struck in Shahpur where a young man lost his life after being hit by a falling stone. This underscores the perilous conditions faced by residents amidst the ongoing crisis.

The district administration is working round-the-clock to restore normalcy. However, the scale of the damage and the continuing threat of further rainfall pose a significant challenge. The incident highlights the urgent need for robust infrastructure and disaster preparedness in the face of increasingly erratic weather patterns.
