Top 10 flood updates from Himachal:
1) On Tuesday, CM Sukhu made an aerial inspection of the impacted areas and announced the deployment of six helicopters to begin rescue efforts for stranded visitors and locals. Numerous locations, including Shimla, experienced water supply interruptions and connectivity problems.
2) The connectivity to Kasol/Parvati valley is anticipated to be restored by tonight or early tomorrow morning, according to a Facebook post made on Wednesday by the deputy commissioner of Kullu. Additionally, he said that Sainj and Tirthan village connectivity was also being restored on a “war footing.” He had already stated that these places have poor connectivity, but everyone is safe and no unexpected incidents have yet to be recorded. The current condition makes more than 1,000 highways impassable.
3)Earlier this morning, CM Sukhu posted on Twitter that 800 persons had been picked up by pickup trucks and taken out of Kasol and Manikaran. The road from Kasol/Manikaran to Bhuntar has been swept away along a 300-meter section near Dunkhara. The text of his tweet read, “Efforts are being undertaken to swiftly restore this route. More than 2200 trucks have already travelled via Kullu from Manali, according to a statement from the chief minister’s office, and food is being given to them at Ramshilla Chowk. The CM is keeping an eye on everything.
4) In the meantime, efforts are being made to contact the 15 Russian visitors who are supposedly stranded in Kasol. In a statement to the news agency ANI on Tuesday, Satwant Atwal Trivedi, the acting DGP of Himachal Pradesh, said, “We have learned from the Russian consulate that 15 visitors are stranded in Kasol. We’re attempting to make contact, and whenever we do, we’ll let the embassy know how they’re doing.
5)According to officials, the tourist vehicles stuck in Lahaul were evacuated last night, and 2000 people who were stranded in Kasol have so far been helped, according to Sukhu. To help the trapped individuals, Sadar Vyas Relief Camp has been formed, where accommodations have been arranged for 200 to 300 persons.
6) Many people were unable to reach their friends and family due to connectivity problems, so they turned to social media to spread messages to find them. In an effort to speed up rescue efforts, the state police also made contact information available on Tuesday. They asked individuals to share the last known location or lodging of any friends or family members who are still trapped in the state.
7) 7) According to state minister Jagat Singh Negi, the water and electricity supply have been interrupted, and the Manali-Chandigarh national highway has been damaged as a result of the flash floods. “Manali has sustained serious damage…Due to flash floods, homes, farms, and the national highway have all been destroyed or damaged. The connection road next to the bridge has also suffered significant damage. There is no internet access, electricity, or running water. We have plans in place to feed the stranded tourists, Negi remarked. Meanwhile, CM Sukhu reported on Tuesday that Kullu and Manali have partially regained power service.
8)The Nurpur police reported on Wednesday that the rain mayhem would cause the Pandoh dam in Mandi to release more water from 6 p.m. today to 3 p.m. tomorrow. For the next few days, people are urged not to approach low-lying regions including rivers, drains, and dams, the police were cited as saying by ANI.
9) The odd combination between a western disturbance and the monsoon trough is what is causing the non-stop rains. As a result of the monsoon mayhem, northern India, particularly Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, and Haryana, is devastated.
10) The India meteorological agency issued a warning on Tuesday for the upcoming several days’ worth of moderate to heavy rainfall in a number of regions. More rain is forecast for Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, according to the weather service.
