The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued orange alerts for eight districts in Himachal Pradesh, signalling that heavy rainfall will persist across the state. The alerts warn of potential landslides, flash floods and road blockages in the affected areas.
Residents in the warned districts are advised to stay indoors, secure loose objects and follow local authorities’ instructions. The IMD also urged people to avoid traveling on mountain roads unless absolutely necessary.
