Himachal Pradesh continues to face disruptions due to monsoon rains, with 85 roads blocked and essential services affected.
According to the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC), Mandi district has the highest number of blocked roads at 45, followed by Kullu with 15 and Kangra with eight.

Impact & Risks

The blocked roads and disrupted services are causing significant inconvenience to residents and travellers. Mandi, Kullu, and Kangra are among the most affected districts. The disruption of 51 drinking water supply schemes, including 39 in Sirmaur, poses challenges for daily life. Power outages due to damaged transformers, particularly in Kullu, Shimla, and Mandi, add to the difficulties. Persistent rainfall may exacerbate these issues, increasing the risk of landslides and further infrastructure damage.
