Kangra Reels Under Monsoon Fury: Villages Cut Off, Lives Disrupted

Heavy rainfall lashed Kangra district on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, triggering landslides and flash floods that have wreaked havoc across the region. Several villages remain completely cut off from the outside world.

Major roads connecting these villages have been blocked by debris and surging waters, hampering rescue and relief efforts. Many houses have suffered significant damage.

The disruption extends to essential services; water and power supplies remain disrupted in many affected areas, adding to the distress of the residents.

The district administration is working tirelessly to clear the roads and restore essential services. However, the relentless downpour continues to hinder these restoration efforts.

The situation underscores the vulnerability of hill districts to extreme weather events and highlights the urgent need for robust disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies in Himachal Pradesh. The coming days will be crucial in assessing the full extent of the damage and providing adequate relief to the affected population.
