Himachal Pradesh is in mourning. The beautiful, serene hills that usually draw travelers from across the country now echo with cries of fear, loss, and heartbreak. Relentless rain over the past few days has turned life upside down, claiming 37 lives and causing massive destruction estimated at ₹400 crore.
Families have been torn apart. In remote villages, people woke up to the sounds of cracking earth and rushing water. Homes were washed away, roads disappeared, and vehicles were left dangling on the edges of broken highways. Entire communities have been cut off, waiting for help, scared, stranded, and uncertain of what tomorrow holds.
In the chaos, brave rescue teams — from the Army, NDRF, and local volunteers are working tirelessly, pulling people from the wreckage, bringing food, and trying to restore a sense of order. But with key roads blocked by landslides and floodwaters still rising, it’s a race against time.
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu called the situation “heartbreaking” and assured affected families of support. He urged people to stay safe, avoid travel, and trust that help is on the way.
For now, schools are closed, tourism has paused, and prayers echo louder than ever through the misty valleys. The skies show no mercy, but Himachal’s spirit — shaped by mountains and tested by storms — refuses to break.
It is more than a natural disaster. It’s a human tragedy. And the hills of Himachal are weeping.
