The state’s monsoon season will remain active until September 3, with authorities reporting that 98 roads are currently blocked due to the weather.
Himachal Pradesh’s meteorological department has announced that the monsoon will stay active across the state until September 3. The continued heavy rainfall has led to the blockage of 98 roads, disrupting travel and transport in several districts.
State officials are monitoring the situation and have issued advisories for commuters to avoid non‑essential travel on affected routes. The blocked roads include both national and state highways that connect remote hill areas with major towns.
Emergency response teams remain on standby to clear obstructions and restore connectivity as soon as conditions permit. Residents are urged to stay informed through local alerts and cooperate with authorities during the ongoing monsoon spell.
The prolonged monsoon is expected to bring further challenges, but authorities are confident that coordinated efforts will mitigate the impact on daily life and essential services.
