Heavy rainfall has triggered a landslide in Himachal Pradesh, leading authorities to shut down 134 roads and issue an orange alert across four districts.
A rain‑induced landslide in Himachal Pradesh has forced the closure of 134 roads, according to state officials. The debris‑laden slope collapsed after sustained downpours, blocking major routes that connect several remote villages.
In response, the state government has issued an orange alert for four districts, signalling a high risk of further landslides and urging residents to stay away from vulnerable areas. Road closures affect both national highways and local feeder roads, disrupting daily commutes and transport of goods.
Rescue and relief teams have been deployed to assess the damage and clear the affected routes. Authorities are monitoring rainfall patterns closely and have set up early‑warning systems to prevent future incidents.
Residents are advised to follow official advisories, avoid traveling on closed roads, and seek shelter if they are in the affected districts. The government has promised to reopen roads as soon as it is safe to do so.
