Turbulence in Manali: Kangana Ranaut Faces Local Backlash Amidst Flood Catastrophe

Kangana Ranaut, Bollywood star and BJP representative, faced a hostile reception during her visit to Himachal Pradesh's Manali, where locals protested her arrival amidst ongoing flood recovery efforts. The slogans 'Go back Kangana, you are late' echoed as she toured the affected areas.

Amid the chaos, videos surfaced showing residents holding black flags and shouting near Kangana's entourage. Despite attempts by BJP leaders to calm the situation, tensions required police intervention. The visit coincides with severe weather, including landslides and flash floods, causing extensive damage.

Ranaut assessed the affected regions and gathered information from Govind Singh Thakur and locals, discussing the urgent need for solutions as infrastructure along major highways and residential areas continued to suffer. Notable damages include the Chandigarh-Manali National Highway and local amenities.
