Torrential rain has wreaked havoc on an unprecedented scale in Himachal Pradesh. Several vital bridges got tossed up in the flash flood fury while multi-storey buildings, especially those on the banks of rivers, collapsed in a blink of an eye leaving the hill state severely battered for the past 48 hours. Devastating floods in the rivers like Beas, Satluj, Ravi, Chenab and other overflowing tributaries due to widespread rains have left thousands of people stranded.
