Incessant rains have pounded Himachal Pradesh in the last few days, triggering flash floods. The heavy downpour has wreaked havoc in the hill state, causing landslides, washing away bridges, and blocking roads.

 Meanwhile, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Tuesday conducted an aerial survey of the flood-affected areas to take stock of the situation in the hill state.

Earlier, a red alert was issued Mandi, Kullu Manali, Solan and Sirmaur till July 13.
