The Indian Meteorological Department has warned of heavy rainfall across several districts of Himachal Pradesh for the coming three days.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an advisory on Tuesday, indicating that heavy rain will affect several parts of Himachal Pradesh for the next 72 hours. The warning covers districts such as Shimla, Kangra, Mandi and Kullu, where the department expects rainfall intensity to exceed 30 mm per hour at times.
Authorities have urged residents to stay alert, avoid low‑lying areas prone to flash floods, and secure property against water damage. Local administration in the affected districts has been instructed to keep emergency response teams on standby and to monitor river levels closely.
The IMD also cautioned that the weather system could bring strong winds and occasional hail in higher altitude zones, potentially disrupting travel on mountain roads and affecting power supply. Residents are advised to follow updates from official channels and heed any further instructions from local authorities.
