Himachal Pradesh is witnessing heavy rainfall over the past few days, triggering landslides and blocking a large number of roads. Reports suggest that at least 19 people have died so far due to incessant rain in the state.
“On Sunday morning, NH-5 was blocked for few hours in Kinnaur district. The landslide disrupted road traffic and caused a heavy jam. Besides, NH-3 between Manali and Kullu was also partially damaged due to the landslide in the morning,” reported ANI.
Heavy vehicles had to wait for the debris to be cleared while light and medium vehicles including tempos were able to move at slow speed.
