Kinnaur Kailash Yatra suspended, 413 pilgrims rescued; 617 roads cut off
The Kinnaur Kailash Yatra was suspended and 413 stranded devotees were rescued after heavy rain damaged the pilgrimage route in Himachal Pradesh, officials said on Wednesday. The devotees were stranded after two makeshift bridges at Tanglippi and Kangarang were washed away due to the increased water flow in streams, they said. The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) shared videos of rescue operations on X, which showed pilgrims ziplining from one end of the streams to the other. The Kinnaur district administration received a distress call about the pilgrims stranded on the trek route. In response to the call, the ITBP and the National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) launched the rescue operations, the officials said. The Kinnaur district administration suspended the Kinnaur Kailash Yatra after the rain led to significant damage along the pilgrimage route. Most of the trekking paths have become either dangerously slippery or have been hit by landslides, posing a serious threat to the safety of pilgrims, according to the officials. In view of these adverse conditions, the Kinnaur Kailash Yatra is being temporarily suspended until further notice, an official order said. Pilgrims currently on the route have been safely sheltered at Milling Khata and Gufa, and all necessary arrangements have been made for their safety. Kinnaur Kailash, considered to be the winter residence of Lord Shiva, is located at an altitude of 19,850 feet. The yatra began on July 15 and will conclude on August 30. Heavy rain also upended life in other parts of the state, leading to the closure of 617 roads, including four national highways, and educational institutions. Moderate to heavy rain continued to lash parts of the state. Kasauli has received 145 mm of rain since Tuesday night, Dharampur 122.8 mm, Gohar 120 mm, Malraon 103.2 mm, Baggi 95.9 mm, Nagrota Suriyan 93.4 mm, Naina Devi 86.4 mm, Sundernagar 80.3 mm, Kangra 71.4 mm, Bilaspur 70.4 mm, Dhaulakuan 67 mm, Mandi 65.8 mm, Shimla 64.4 mm and Dharamshala 64 mm, according to the meteorological centre.

Chandigarh-Manali National Highway (NH 21), Old Hindustan-Tibet Road (NH 05), Mandi-Dharampur (NH 3) and Aut-Sainj road (NH 305) were closed for vehicular traffic following landslides. Shimla-Kalka National Highway, which was blocked at Chakki Mor near Koti in Solan district, has been opened for vehicular movement, the officials said. Commuters faced a hard time as road closures led to traffic jams at several places. Educational institutions, including schools, colleges and anganwadis, were closed in Sunni, Kumarsein, Chopal, Dodra Kwar, Jubbal, Theog and Rampur subdivisions of Shimla district, Karsog and Sundernagar in Mandi district, Nirmand in Kullu district, and some subdivisions in Solan district.

Uttarkashi flash floods rescue operation LIVE: 190 people rescued, dozens remain missing from the site
Indian security and disaster management forces on Thursday (August 7, 2025) are continuing the rescue operation in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi after the cloudburst and mudslide incident. People trapped near Uttarkashi were brought to the Matli helipad. Around 190 people were rescued from Dharali town in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district on Wednesday (August 6, 2025). Rescue teams also recovered two bodies from the site. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday (August 7, 2025) interacted with the rescue team in Uttarkashi before it departed to carry out operations in areas severely affected by the recent cloudburst and heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, the Badrinath National Highway has been blocked due to debris falling from the hillside near Pipalkoti, hampering movement along a critical route. As rescue efforts gain momentum in the cloudburst-hit region of Uttarkashi district, authorities have prioritised the safe evacuation of stranded pilgrims from the Gangotri Dham. Following the cloudburst triggered by flash floods in Uttarkashi's Dharali region in Uttarakhand earlier in the week, 16 persons from Maharashtra's Jalgaon district remain untraceable, according to Jalgaon Collector Ayush Prasad.
