Weather Update: Heavy Monsoon Triggers Landslides In Uttarakhand & Himachal Pradesh

Monsoon rains have wreaked havoc across 30 districts in Rajasthan, with continuous heavy downpour for the past 25 days causing schools and colleges to shut down. The situation is dire as landslides have injured multiple people, and roads have been blocked, disrupting daily life and essential travel. In Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district, villagers face immense challenges due to swollen rivers and damaged bridges. Without proper infrastructure, locals struggle to cross flooded streams to access markets and hospitals, putting vulnerable groups like women, children, and elderly at risk.Similarly, in Himachal Pradesh, the Mandikullu national highway near Mandi has been repeatedly closed due to massive landslides, with huge boulders blocking the roads. Despite some openings for traffic, landslides have forced closures again, forcing people to take dangerous alternate routes over hills and through forested ravines.In Odisha’s Rourkela city, recent heavy rains have submerged vehicles from cars to bikes in floodwaters. These images echo the flooding seen recently in Gurugram. The increasing intensity and frequency of such weather events highlight the urgent need for better disaster management and infrastructure resilience.
