This time the monsoon is raining like a havoc. From the mountains to the plains, the rain has disrupted life. Traffic has come to a standstill. The Meteorological Department also says that the period of rain will continue in North India and the mountains.

 

35 people have also died due to landslides caused by heavy rains on the Vaishno Devi Yatra route in Jammu.

 

Even after wreaking havoc in Delhi-NCR, UP, Bihar, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, the rain is not taking the name of stopping.

 

Alert regarding landslides even today

 

It has been raining continuously for several days in the hilly areas. Due to this, an alert has been issued regarding landslides and road closures in areas like Jammu. However, the temperature is also likely to decrease slightly due to rain.

 

Mahajan on the Chandigarh-Kullu highway

Kullu is bearing the brunt of the landslide the most. Thousands of trucks are stuck due to landslides on the Chandigarh-Kullu highway, due to which apples, tomatoes, and other vegetables are getting completely spoiled. The road has been opened for small vehicles here, but thousands of trucks are still stuck.

Heavy rains cause loss of crores
