Newlywed Woman Uses Dupatta to Help Rescue Biker in Himachal Flash Flood
In Himachal Pradesh's Chamba district, a biker caught in a flash flood was rescued by a passing family after heavy rains caused sudden water surges. A newlywed woman from the family used her dupatta to help the biker steady himself against the strong current, while a man assisted in pulling him to safety. The rescue was captured on video and shared widely on social media. Meanwhile, a landslide on the Kodla-Urai road caused traffic disruption but no casualties or property damage.
