Continuous monsoon showers in Himachal Pradesh have blocked 92 roads and affected 44 electricity transformers, leading to traffic snarls and power outages.
The state of Himachal Pradesh continues to experience heavy monsoon rainfall, with clouds lingering over its hilly terrain for several days. Local authorities have reported that the persistent downpours are disrupting normal life across the region.
According to the latest figures, 92 roadways have been rendered impassable due to waterlogging, landslides or debris. The blockage affects both major highways and rural links, causing significant delays for commuters and transport services.
In addition to the road disruptions, 44 electrical transformers have been reported as damaged or out of service. The loss of these units has resulted in intermittent power supply in several villages and towns, prompting residents to rely on backup sources.
State officials have dispatched teams to clear the obstructed routes and to repair the affected transformers. Efforts are ongoing to restore normal traffic flow and electricity distribution as the monsoon persists.
