NEW DELHI: Ten people have died and at least 34 are missing as cloudbursts and flash floods struck several parts of Mandi district in Himachal Pradesh over the past 32 hours, according to the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC).
Official figures from the SEOC’s monsoon situation report issued on July 2 indicate that the state has witnessed 16 cloudbursts and three flash floods, mostly concentrated in Mandi, causing widespread devastation.
Mandi has emerged as the ‘epicentre’ of the monsoon disaster. In several areas of the Thunag, Karsog, and Gohar subdivisions, heavy cloudbursts have caused massive property damage, fatalities, and reports of missing persons.
The report confirmed that teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) have launched relief operations, which are in full swing. Emergency shelters have been set up, and essential supplies such as tents, blankets, and food are being distributed.
A series of cloudbursts, flash floods and heavy rain have battered parts of Himachal Pradesh. A cloudburst on June 25 triggered widespread destruction across Kangra and Kullu districts.
The Centre continues to monitor rainfall and river levels, especially in vulnerable areas like Jyuni Khad, which is currently flowing above the danger mark.
With more rainfall forecast, residents in high-risk zones have been advised to stay alert and follow evacuation instructions issued by the local authorities.
