Multiple Flash Floods Hit Himachal As Heavy Rain Continues To Batter Mandi, Kullu

Heavy rains unleashed multiple flash floods in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi district on Sunday, bringing traffic to a standstill along the busy Chandigarh–Manali National Highway. The floods struck Panarsa, Takoli, and Nagwain, leaving large portions of the Mandi–Kullu stretch inaccessible.

“There has been no report of human loss in the incidents,” confirmed Sachin Hiremath, ASP Mandi.

The relentless downpour has battered the hill state, snapping road connectivity, damaging infrastructure, and leaving thousands affected. Data from the Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (HPSDMA) shows that 374 roads remain blocked, alongside 524 power transformers and 145 water supply schemes thrown out of service.

Some of the worst-hit regions include Mandi, Kullu, and Kinnaur, where landslides and flash floods continue to wreak havoc. Major national highways, including NH-305 and NH-05, are among those shut due to blockages.
