Weather Update: Severe Monsoon Rains Trigger Flooding Across Northern India | ABP NEWS
Severe monsoon rains have caused widespread flooding and damage across northern India, especially in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Ladakh, leading to rising river levels, evacuations, and road blockages. In Uttarakhand’s Harshil area, the Bhagirathi River’s swelling has forced people near the banks to move to safer places, while in Himachal Pradesh, cloudbursts in Shimla and floods in Kinnaur have damaged homes, bridges, and infrastructure. Ladakh’s LAMA-Yuri region faced floods and landslides trapping tourists. Meanwhile, heavy rains in Delhi-NCR caused waterlogging and disrupted traffic. Other incidents include a bike fire in Bengaluru caused by an arsonist, a fatal car fire in Kolkata, a dramatic rescue from a well in Hyderabad, and the arrest of a major theft gang in Bihar’s Motihari. Authorities continue rescue and relief operations amid ongoing heavy rainfall warnings.
