Floods, Landslides, And Chaos: Videos Shows Monsoon Fury Across India
Relentless monsoon rains have unleashed widespread disruption across India, inundating cities, crippling transport networks, and triggering deadly landslides in hilly regions. Striking visuals pouring in from flood-ravaged cities and rain-lashed hill stations reveal the staggering extent of disruption—streets submerged, rivers raging beyond their banks, and landslides severing connections to sacred pilgrimages
From the saturated plains of the capital to the waterlogged pilgrimage routes of the north and the rain-battered slopes of the Northeast, the subcontinent is witnessing a dramatic phase of nature’s fury.
Himachal Pradesh Cloudburst
Himachal Pradesh, already battered since the onset of heavy rains on June 20, has seen a fresh wave of devastation. A series of 11 cloudbursts, four flash floods, and a major landslide on Tuesday—mainly across Mandi district—have claimed lives and brought daily life to a standstill. Authorities remain on high alert as rescue operations continue amid fears of further slope failures.
In the north, the Badrinath National Highway remains blocked near Karnaprayag due to heavy debris, while over 20 link roads in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district have also been cut off by landslides. Restoration work continues, with traffic movement restored at Nandprayag and Bhenar Pani.
In the national capital, rain-triggered waterlogging in underpasses and key roads slowed traffic to a crawl. Meanwhile, cities like Chandigarh, Jaipur, and Patna also reported heavy downpours leading to drainage failures and commuter chaos.
Along the Gujarat–Rajasthan border, torrential downpours in the Raniwada region led to flood-like conditions near the Sundha Mata Temple, as high-velocity water flows swamped the area.
In the South, heavy showers lashed Kerala, inundating the premises of several temples and swelling riverbanks to alarming levels. Coastal Tamil Nadu and parts of Chennai saw moderate to intense rainfall accompanied by lightning and thunder.
In the Northeast, the situation remains grim. The Ministry of Defence reported severe landslides and communication breakdowns across Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and eastern Bhutan. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has been working round the clock to clear debris and maintain critical routes, including the Koloriang-Lee-Sarli-Huri corridor in Arunachal’s Kurung Kumey district and the Darranga-Trashigang Highway in Bhutan—restored swiftly after a massive slide on May 30.
