Monsoon Havoc: Flash Floods and Heavy Rains Disrupt Northern India

Heavy monsoon rains have wreaked havoc across northern India, leading to flash floods, road closures, and tragic loss of lives. In Himachal Pradesh's Mandi district, floods triggered by cloudbursts claimed five lives, buried vehicles, and caused significant infrastructure damage.

Delhi faced severe traffic disruptions due to widespread waterlogging, while a collapsed wall claimed two lives in the city. Rescue operations are in full swing with the involvement of the National Disaster Response Force, police, and local authorities.

Rajasthan experienced a flood-like situation, prompting school closures and dam gate openings. High rainfall levels have categorized many districts under the 'large excess' rainfall category, highlighting the intensity of this monsoonal fury.
