Himachal Reels Under Monsoon Fury: Mandi Bears Brunt
Heavy rainfall has lashed Himachal Pradesh, causing widespread devastation and claiming lives, particularly in Mandi district. The incessant downpour has resulted in the closure of vital roads, including a critical stretch of National Highway-3.
Mandi has been severely impacted, with reports of fatalities and significant disruption to essential services. The district administration is struggling to cope with the scale of the damage and rescue efforts are underway.
The state has already recorded 30% excess rainfall since the onset of the monsoon on July 10, 2025. This has led to substantial financial losses and a tragic toll on human life.
A yellow alert for heavy rainfall remains in effect, prompting authorities to urge residents to exercise extreme caution. The state government is assessing the damage and preparing relief measures.
The unprecedented rainfall underscores the growing vulnerability of the Himalayan region to climate change and the urgent need for robust infrastructure and disaster preparedness measures. The long-term impact on the state’s economy and its people demands immediate attention and substantial investment in mitigation strategies.
