Heavy rains triggered a landslide on a stretch of the Chandigarh-Manali highway in Himachal Pradesh on Monday morning, blocking the road between Mandi and Kullu.

The landslide occurred near near 7 Mile on the Chandigarh-Manali highway. Visuals from the site show huge boulders and fallen trees occupying the road, with heavy traffic jam behind.

On Sunday, the state witnessed a cloudburst, leading to flash floods in the Mandi district. The road leading to Parashar ahead of Kamand was closed, and over 200 people including tourists and locals were stranded near Baggi Bridge, news agency ANI reported.

“A bus of students of Chamba and many vehicles that were coming back from Parashar got stuck. Facilities have been arranged for their overnight stay as there is no possibility of the road opening tonight,” Mandi Police had said on Sunday.

Meanwhile, people in the rainfall-hit districts have been advised to avoid roads adjacent to the mountains due to the high risk of landslides and rock fall. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall in Himachal Pradesh on Monday.
