Himachal Pradesh has recorded 257 deaths since the beginning of monsoon on June 20, with 133 deaths in rain-related incidents and 124 in road accidents, according to ANI, the Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (HPSDMA) said on Friday.
The HPSDMA stated that rain-triggered disasters, including landslides, flash floods, cloudbursts, house collapses, drowning cases, and electrocution, have caused widespread loss of life and property. Mandi district reported the highest number of rain-related deaths at 26, followed by Kangra (28), Chamba (10), and Kullu (11).
As per ANI, road accidents have been another major killer this season, with Kangra (12), Kinnaur (12), Mandi (21), Shimla (15), and Chamba (20) among the worst-affected districts. HPSDMA officials attributed many of these accidents to slippery roads, poor visibility, and vehicles skidding off rain-soaked mountain roads.
Power supply has also been severely impacted, with 681 Distribution Transformers (DTRs) disrupted. The districts of Kullu and Shimla are the most affected, with 145 and 63 disrupted DTRs, respectively. In Kullu, the disruptions are due to a flash flood, faulty lines, and fallen trees.
