Dharamshala Flash Floods: Heavy Rainfall Wreaks Havoc In Himachal Pradesh

Heavy rainfall in Dharamshala leads to flash floods, washing away vehicles and causing damage to properties in the Bhagsu Nag area. Several videos have been shared by locals. Videos show dreadful visuals of a huge amount of water gushing rapidly through the parked vehicles. Visuals of cars being uprooted by the water but blocked by other vehicles, bundled together by flash floods have gone viral. People capturing these visuals could be heard screaming at the sight of a huge SUV being washed away. One video shows a part of the building collapsing due to flash floods. Heavy rain has lashed the Kangra district, 58 km from Dharamshala, throwing life into disarray. The rapid pace at which the water was flowing transformed, in no time, a brook in Bhagsu Nag, which is a tourist attraction, into nothing short of a river. Some of the hotels in the area have reported heavy damage. Flash floods have instilled fear in people and also caused commotion and confusion. Besides Kangra, several other districts in Himachal Pradesh have also witnessed heavy rain after days of hot weather. The July 12 downpour brought respite but caused a lot of damage too.
