The hill state has suffered a loss of around four thousand crores so far due to heavy incessant rains and flood. More than 20 people have lost their lives in the last 24 hours. At least 80 roads in Himachal Pradesh have been completely destroyed. More than 200 houses have been damaged due to heavy rain in the hill state.

Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu virtually presided over a review meeting of the State Disaster Management Authority, (SDMA) on Monday. He took stock of the situation and gave necessary directions to the authorities, as per an official release.

Incessant rains caused the Beas river to swell in Himachal Pradesh and triggered landslides in Uttarakhand resulting in road blocks and traffic snarls. Several footage shared on social media showed bus and trucks being carried away with the water current and trees being uprooted in Himachal Pradesh. Heavy rainfalls have been wreaking havoc in several states of the country including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and the national capital Delhi.
