Monsoon Rains Cause Landslides, Flooding, and Infrastructure Damage in Himachal Pradesh
Heavy monsoon rains have caused landslides, flooding, and infrastructure damage across Himachal Pradesh, notably in Shimla, Kinnaur, and Sirmaur districts. A retaining wall collapse in Shimla's Sanjauli area threatened several homes, while a recently installed Bailey bridge near Sangla collapsed due to slope instability. Authorities have issued weather alerts and are monitoring vulnerable areas, with residents expressing concerns over ongoing construction amid the monsoon. Road blockages and soil erosion have further disrupted daily life, prompting calls for safety measures and inspections.
