It seems like there is no end to all these ongoing in the state. Unfortunately, the India Meteorological Department recently issued a red alert for some districts. With this, there is also a warning for the high chances of flash floods, especially in Lahaul and Spiti Valley.

According to a report by NDTV, 5 people lost their lives on Sunday due to the ongoing heavy rainfall. So many landslides from different parts of Himachal Pradesh have been reported already. These landslides are destroying houses, shops, blocking roads and highways, sweeping away things, and also killing people.

Landslides have led to the blockage of the Mandi-Kullu National Highway creating massive problems for the commuters. With this, the train facilities between Shimla and Kullu is also at a pause now. Landslides and uncountable broken trees made it impossible to drive trains on the track.

In between the uncontrollable rainfall, flash floods, landslides, and rock slides, the state government took the decision to close all the schools and colleges on 10 and 11 July.
