Monsoon LIVE Updates 2023: Hello and welcome to ABP Live's Moonsoon 2023 LIVE blog. Please follow this space for all the news and latest updates regarding the downpour across various parts of the country. Several states have been witnessing incessant rainfall for the past few days leading to the loss of lives and property damage. India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also issued Red, Orange and Yellow Alerts for various districts in the affected states. Continuous downpour in the national capital has led to the Yamuna river overflowing which prompted the evacuation of people living in nearby areas on Tuesday. 

Several states have also been witnessing repeated instances of landslides and rockslides. In Himachal Pradesh, landslides have claimed four more lives and more than 200 people remain stranded. Senior IMD Scientist Sandeep Kumar Sharma on Monday (July 10) while talking to ANI said, "A red alert has been issued for very heavy rainfall in Solan, Shimla, Sirmaur, Kullu, Mandi, Kinnaur, and Lahaul for the next 24 hours. Additionally, an orange alert has been issued in Una, Hamirpur, Kangra, and Chamba. A flash flood warning has been issued for Mandi, Kinnaur, and Lahaul-Spiti for the next 24 hours." Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu will take stock of the rain-affected regions in the state today (July 11) by conducting an aerial survey.

Rockslides were seen in many areas on Uttarakhand highways which obstructed rescue operations.

Eight people died in the past 24 hours in Uttar Pradesh. Five out of eight died in lightning strikes, two died by drowning and one died following a snake bite. Many districts in UP have witnessed much more rainfall than usual. Thirty-three districts have experienced more than usual rainfall. Three people were also killed on Monday (July 10) and many got seriously injured in incidents of roof collapse following heavy rainfall in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur and Badaun districts.

Maharashtra has been witnessing incessant rainfall as well. Mumbai's Santacruz observatory has recorded 1,043 mm of rainfall which is 45% of the season’s average. The weather bureau said light to moderate rainfall will continue through the week and its intensity may pick up around the weekend.
