Heavy monsoon rains have unleashed flash floods and triggered fresh landslides across Himachal Pradesh, especially impacting the Mandi–Kullu stretch of the Chandigarh–Manali National Highway. The highway remains blocked, disrupting key connectivity for residents and travelers. The districts of Mandi, Kullu, and Kinnaur are among the worst affected. Persistent rainfall continues to hamper restoration and relief operations, delaying reopening of roads and resumption of essential services. Local authorities are struggling against ongoing weather challenges to restore access and provide much-needed aid to stranded communities.
