After intense spells of rain in Himachal Pradesh made the situation quite alarming, the Himachal Pradesh Revenue, Horticulture and Tribal Development Minister, Jagat Singh Negi, addressed the issue. The Himachal Pradesh Minister on Tuesday asserted that the state has suffered reported losses worth Rs 2,000 crore so far due to landslides, road accidents and flash floods.

As reported by news agency PTI, heavy monsoon rains continue to batter Himachal Pradesh and cause widespread damage to infrastructure, crops and public life. While the monsoon is still active in many parts of the state, with no sign of respite, the situation ahead looks even more concerning. 

The Himachal Pradesh Minister, while addressing the flash floods, stated that, "The spell of rains has not ended yet; it is continuing without any reduction. In several places the monsoon is active with great intensity. Yesterday Shimla witnessed very heavy rain, leading to tree falls and disruption of electricity supply. At Ramchandra Chowk, a massive landslide occurred, and many people had to be shifted to safer locations. Similar heavy damage has been reported in Kullu district also. So far, there are no reports of loss of life in these fresh incidents, but orchard crops have suffered extensive damage in affected areas," as cited by news agency PTI.
