Landslides in Dharamshala Damage Water Pipelines, Disrupt Supply
Heavy rains in Dharamshala's Naddi area caused landslides that damaged key gravity pipelines supplying about 4.40 million litres of water daily to the city, disrupting supply to several areas. The Jal Shakti Department has deployed teams to repair the damage and is providing water through alternative sources like the Dhar plant and Dari bypass. Officials are monitoring the situation but warn that ongoing rain and unstable terrain may delay restoration. Residents are urged to use water judiciously until normal supply resumes.
