Devastating cloudburst and heavy rains ravage Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand; Red alert issued

New Delhi: The picturesque landscapes of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand have once again been marred by heavy rainfall and cloudbursts, resulting in widespread damage, loss of life, and disrupted livelihoods. The recent cloudburst in Subathu, Himachal Pradesh, has caused significant devastation, with buildings collapsing and a trail of destruction in its wake.

A red alert has been sounded across several regions, including Shimla, as meteorological experts predict continues heavy rainfall for the next 48 hours. The Meteorological Centre’s warning of potentially severe flooding in the Mandya Pradesh region has heightened concerns, prompting authorities to take preemptive measures.

The cloudburst in Subathu served as a stark reminder of nature’s unforgiving power. Buildings crumbled under the force of the deluge, leaving many injured and traumatized. In Shimla, landslides triggered by the relentless rains wreaked havoc, washing away roads and vehicles and paralysing transportation networks.

The aftermath of the cloudburst has resulted in the closure of over 25 roads in Himachal, including the critical Mandi Kullu National Highway, cutting off vital transportation routes. This has posed a serious challenge for rescue and relief operations, as well as for local communities and travellers who find themselves stranded.

In light of the dire situation, educational institutions in the affected areas have been shut down to ensure the safety of students and staff. Authorities have also advised tourists and pilgrims to exercise caution and avoid high-altitude areas, considering the unpredictable weather conditions.

Tragically, this recent spell of heavy rains and cloudbursts has claimed more than 80 lives, underscoring the urgency of effective disaster management and preparedness. The regions of Shimla, Solan, and Mandya have borne the brunt of the devastation, with their infrastructure and communities taking a severe hit.
