Since June 20, relentless monsoon rains have ravaged Himachal Pradesh, claiming 69 lives (43 from floods, 26 in road accidents), with 37 missing and 110 injured. The devastation—estimated at ₹700 crore—is likened to a war zone by Chief Minister Sukhu, as homes collapsed, roads vanished, and vehicles were swept away . In Mandi district, local traders and residents distributed ration kits to 110 families, providing 10‑day supplies of rice, wheat, oil, and essentials . With the IMD issuing red alerts through July 7, authorities continue rescues, bridge rental aid, and emphasize staying indoors amid ongoing heavy rainfall. (PC: X)
