Earlier, the LoP also urged Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to personally visit Karsog to assess the destruction caused by the recent cloudburst and flash floods. Thakur emphasised the need for the Chief Minister’s visit to shape plans for relief, reconstruction, and rehabilitation in the affected areas. 

“Heavy destruction has occurred in Karsog. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu should personally come here to assess the destruction, so that he can shape plans for relief, reconstruction, and rehabilitation," he wrote on X.

Heavy rains have lashed various areas of the state for the last few weeks. Flash flood warnings have been issued for parts of Chamba, Kangra, Mandi, Kullu, Shimla, Solan, and Sirmaur, raising concerns over potential landslides and road blockages. Heavy rains have also triggered landslides in different parts of the states.

There are 68 assembly constituencies in Himachal Pradesh, and Mandi district has been the most affected, where rain-induced disasters have taken a toll on infrastructure and human lives, news agency PTI reported.

So far, since the onset of monsoon on June 20 till July 11, Himachal Pradesh has suffered losses of Rs 751 crore.

During monsoon, the state witnessed 31 flash floods, 22 cloudbursts, and 17 landslides, along with heavy rains. Over 90 people have died, of whom 56 died in rain-related incidents in the state.
