Isolated rains were observed in Kashmir, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and northeastern regions in the past few days, as per the weather department.
The State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) Sunday told news agency ANI that the efforts are underway to restore services “swiftly” after heavy monsoon showers in Himachal Pradesh triggered landslides and infrastructure damage, disrupting road connectivity and essential services across many districts.
“The heavy monsoon showers have triggered landslides, waterlogging, and infrastructure damage, disrupting road connectivity and essential services across multiple districts,” it said.
“Efforts are underway to restore services swiftly, and field teams are on alert in highly affected regions such as Mandi and Kullu.”
In districts such as Shimla, Solan, and Lahaul and Spiti, the report showed minimal or no disruptions. However, SDMA cautioned that continuing rains could aggravate the situation in coming days.
The public has been advised to avoid unnecessary travel, especially in landslide-prone zones. Restoration efforts are ongoing with the Public Works, Electricity, and Jal Shakti departments mobilized for repairs, news agency ANI reported.
