Incessant rains, flash floods wreak havoc in Himachal Pradesh

Unprecedented downpour in Himachal Pradesh has triggered flash floods and landslides in many parts of the state. With the onset of the monsoon, torrential rains have led to a flood-like situation. The heavy rainfall also caused many rivers to swell and overflow. Flash floods led to the washing away of parked cars, leaving houses partially damaged. Relief teams have swung into action for rescue efforts and people have been asked to take refuge at safe shelters. Tourists have been advised to postpone their tour till July 13 to avoid any inconvenience.
