Himachal Pradesh is currently facing a heightened risk of flash floods due to heavy rainfall. The meteorological office in Shimla has issued warnings of low to moderate flash flood risks in several parts of the state, including Chamba, Kangra, Mandi, and other regions. This situation has led to the closure of numerous roads, including National Highway-5, and the suspension of power and water supplies in certain areas.
In response to the escalating threat, the state government has activated emergency response teams and is closely monitoring weather conditions. Authorities are advising residents and travelers to exercise caution, avoid venturing into flood-prone areas, and stay informed through official channels. The public is encouraged to report any incidents or emergencies to local authorities promptly.
