More rain is expected in monsoon-ravaged Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, according to a forecast from Mausam Bhavan. Between Tuesday and Thursday, the two states are likely to see heavy to extremely heavy rains. Orange alert was issued by Mausam Bhavan. Heavy rains are said to be a contributing factor to the Harpa Ban issue. Moreover, collapse is feared.

This year’s monsoon has an impact on these two states. It has repeatedly fallen apart. There were fatalities as a result of the catastrophe. On Monday, there was a landslide in the Chamba area of the Tehri district of Uttarakhand. A four-month-old baby and two mothers were among the four fatalities. In the debris, there was another person buried. He is the target of rescue efforts.

Due to the accident, all schools in the Tehri district’s Vilangana, Chamba, Narendra Nagar, and Jaunpur were closed on Tuesday. Due to the recent heavy rainfall, landslides have happened in several locations around Uttarakhand. In light of the predicted further rains, it is anticipated that the situation could get worse. On Tuesday, an orange alert was issued in Dehradun, Puri, Nainital, Champawat, and Bageshwar. There is a chance of light to moderate rain in some districts.

In Himachal, the wrath of nature has left extensive damage. Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, the chief minister of that state, remarked, “This is like a mountain struggle. About Rs 10,000 crore was squandered on road repairs and restarting water projects. The process will take a year to complete. Director of the Shimla Meteorological Department Surendra Paul told the news agency PTI that the amount of rain that Himachal got in July of this year eclipsed all previous records going back fifty years.
