As heavy downpour continues to wreak havoc in Himachal Pradesh, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu Monday announced helpline numbers for those seeking information about people affected by the rains. CM Sukhu appealed to the people of the state to stay indoors for the next 24 hours and cooperate with the government “in this hour of disaster.” A cloud burst in Thunag caused flash floods in Mandi Monday morning. In a viral video confirmed by the police, water is seen gushing through the roads with debris, split tree branches and mud. At least 14 lives have been lost so far, CM Sukhu said, due to the rains triggering landslides and damaging houses. The IMD issued a red alert in seven districts across the state on Sunday. Amid the surging of the river and falling of stones on the Kullu-Manali road, the movement of vehicles from Kullu and Manali towards Atal Tunnel and Rohtang has been completely stopped. As many as thirteen landslides and nine flash floods have been reported in the state in the past 36 hours, while 736 roads have been closed to traffic.
