A 100‑foot bridge in Himachal Pradesh has been submerged by rising waters, isolating a village from the rest of the state.
Heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh have caused the 100‑foot bridge over the Sivalik range to sink beneath the swollen river, cutting off the village of Kinnaur from nearby towns. The sudden rise in water levels has made the bridge impassable, leaving residents stranded and unable to access essential supplies.
Local authorities have deployed rescue teams to the area, setting up temporary shelters for those trapped. The state’s disaster management department has urged residents to stay indoors and avoid crossing the affected stretch.
Water levels are expected to remain high for the next few days, according to meteorological reports. The government has announced plans to construct a temporary bridge to restore connectivity once the waters recede.
Residents are advised to monitor official updates and follow safety instructions issued by the Himachal Pradesh government.
