Flash Floods Disrupt Roads in Himachal Pradesh, Temporary Bridge and Rescue Efforts Underway
Heavy rainfall and flash floods in Himachal Pradesh's Lahaul-Spiti and Chamba districts have disrupted key road links, including the Sansari-Killar-Thirot-Tandi and Chamba-Bharmour routes. The Border Roads Organisation constructed a temporary bridge at Jahalma nullah to restore limited connectivity for light vehicles. Farmers face challenges transporting crops due to damaged roads, raising concerns over potential financial losses. Meanwhile, rescue operations are underway for devotees stranded after a flash flood washed away a temporary bridge in Bharmour, with authorities providing aid and clearing landslide debris to restore access.
