Monsoon in Himachal Pradesh blocks 166 roads, death toll climbs to 205

Himachal Pradesh continues to grapple with severe monsoon conditions that have disrupted transport across the state. Official reports indicate that 166 roads have been blocked due to landslides, flooding and water‑logged sections, hampering movement for residents and emergency crews.
The weather‑related disaster has also claimed lives, with the death toll now standing at 205. Authorities are conducting rescue operations and urging people to avoid non‑essential travel on affected routes.
State disaster management teams have deployed additional resources, including rescue boats and medical teams, to the most impacted districts. Relief measures are being coordinated with local governments to provide shelter and basic supplies to those displaced by the floods.
The monsoon is expected to persist for several more days, prompting officials to issue further advisories and to monitor vulnerable areas closely.
