Himachal Reels Under Monsoon Fury: Malana Cut Off, Dam Fails
Heavy rainfall has unleashed devastation across Himachal Pradesh, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The picturesque village of Malana is now completely isolated after its crucial bridge collapsed.
The failure of a dam at the Malana-I Hydropower Project has compounded the crisis. Flash floods, triggered by the dam breach, swept away vital machinery and caused widespread damage.
Numerous roads across the state remain closed, hampering rescue and relief efforts. The state government is grappling with significant infrastructure damage and, tragically, reports of casualties.
The scale of the disaster is immense, with initial assessments indicating substantial losses. The incident highlights the urgent need for robust infrastructure and disaster preparedness measures in the face of increasingly erratic weather patterns. The long-term impact on the state’s economy and the lives of its people remains a grave concern.
