Flash flood in Mandi kills 3 of a family, leaves trail of destruction
Kullu: Three members of a family died, and dozens of houses and vehicles were damaged in a flash flood that hit Jail Road area of Himachal Pradesh's Mandi town early Tuesday. The death toll in the state this monsoon has risen to 170, with 45 of them in Mandi district alone. This is the first time in decades that Mandi town has seen such death and devastation. With the weather department issuing an orange alert for heavy rainfall, the administration has ordered all educational institutions closed on Wednesday. The Chandigarh-Manali highway is blocked, yet again, due to a landslide. Following heavy rainfall since Monday evening, a nullah in Mandi town turned into a raging river of mud and debris around 3.30am, trapping residents in their sleep. Floodwaters and muck entered houses and shops, and the mud piled up several feet high. Jail Road, Hospital Road, Sain Mohalla, and surrounding residential areas within a 5km radius were devastated. According to locals, when the flood roared in, Amarpreet Singh, his parents Sapna and Darshan Singh, and a relative, Balbir Singh, ran out of their home to move their autos to higher ground. However, all four were swept away in the gushing torrent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Only Darshan survived and is now hospitalised.

A family trapped in their house in Tungal Colony was saved by neighbours. NDRF and SDRF teams were carrying out search, rescue, and relief operations. As many as 32 people stranded in their houses were rescued. "It was raining heavily, and the water started increasing in the evening. We got scared and didn't sleep the whole night. In the morning hours, as the rain petered off, we dozed off but were woken up by a loud bang. Suddenly, water was gushing everywhere. I have been living here for 40 years and never saw anything like this before," said Tara Verma, a resident of Jail Road. Mandi bus terminus was flooded. Himachal has incurred a loss of over Rs 1,538 crore since the onset of monsoon on June 20. MSID:: 122978335 413 |

Rising level of Krishna River sparks flood fears in Belagavi
1 2 Pic: Krishna River is overflowing on the Ugar-Kudachi bridge; (below) Ghataprabha water being released at Hidkal dam Belagavi: Continuous downpour in the Western Ghats and catchment areas pushed the Krishna River's level up by 5 feet in 48 hours on Tuesday. Krishna and its tributaries, Vedganga and Doodhganga, are also swelling. District authorities are monitoring the situation and coordinating with Maharashtra to implement precautionary steps. The water level in the Krishna and its tributaries rose significantly due to incessant rains across the Western Ghats and Belagavi district for the past four days. District administration sources said that the water level of the Krishna River rose by 5 feet in the last 48 hours as of Tuesday evening. The Hidkal reservoir on the Ghataprabha River and the Renuka Sagar reservoir on the Malaprabha River are in the process of being consecrated, and a huge amount of water is being released from the reservoirs into the rivers. As a precautionary measure against floods, the district administration is in constant touch with the Maharashtra govt and is monitoring the flood situation to ensure that it does not escalate. Water was released from Radha Nagari reservoir and Koyna reservoir in Maharashtra. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why are some Chinese youth calling themselves 'rat people', and what issues does it surface?

The Krishna River is also overflowing over the Ugar-Kudachi Bridge, which connects to Maharashtra, cutting off the connection with Maharashtra. The inflow of the Ghataprabha River increased in the Hidkal basin. The officials of Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Limited (KNNL) said that due to the high inflow to the Ghataprabha River, water is being released from the reservoir. It was advised to the people living near the Ghataprabha and Hiranyakeshi river banks to move their livestock to safer places as the outflow is likely to increase further. Similarly, water is being released from the Renuka Sagar reservoir in phases as the inflow rate to Malaprabha has been increasing. The reservoir level on Tuesday was 2,075 feet, while the full level of the reservoir is 2,079.5 feet. The superintendent engineer of Renuka Sagar reservoir said that villagers on the banks of the Malaprabha River and people downstream of the reservoir have been advised to move to a safer place.

The base station at Safdarjung recorded 68.1mm of rainfall in the same period. Lodhi Road also experienced heavy rainfall measuring 72.2mm. The intense precipitation on Tuesday took the monthly rainfall for July beyond the normal, with Delhi logging 220.2mm during the month to overtake the long-period monthly average of 209.7mm. IMD classifies rainfall as light when it measures up to 15.5mm in a 24-hour window, moderate when it is between 15.6 and 64.4mm. Rainfall is heavy if the precipitation is between 64.5mm and 115.5mm and very heavy when it measures over 115.5mm.

According to the weather officials, the moisture level spiked in the region coming from a low-pressure area. With the conditions likely to remain the same over the next few days, IMD has predicted light to moderate rainfall on Wednesday and Thursday too. "The monsoon trough at mean sea level continues to pass through Sri Ganganagar, Delhi, with the centre of a low-pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh, Satna, Daltonganj, Jamshedpur, Digha, and then east-southeastward towards northeast Bay of Bengal," said the IMD bulletin on Tuesday. "The upper air cyclonic circulation over south Punjab and adjoining Pakistan extending up to 1.5km above mean sea level persists. The upper air cyclonic circulation over northwest Uttar Pradesh and the neighbourhood at 1.5km above mean sea level also persists." According to Mahesh Palawat, vice-president, climate change and meteorology, Skymet, the monsoon trough line was passing through Delhi on Tuesday, which was what led to the significant precipitation. Palawat also explained that a low-pressure area in northwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining northeast Rajasthan brought additional moisture to the region. While the showers ceased around late morning, the sky remained overcast throughout the day, bringing the daytime temperature down by six degrees. The maximum temperature recorded at the base station of Safdarjung was 29.1 degrees Celsius, six degrees below normal and the lowest maximum since July 8, 2023. The maximum temperature the previous day was 35.6 degrees. The minimum on the day was 26.8 degrees Celsius, which was one below normal and around two degrees lower than Monday's 28.4 Celsius. According to IMD, the maximum temperature on Wednesday is likely to be 30-32 degrees Celsius and the minimum between 23 degrees and 25 degrees Celsius. The rain had a positive impact on the air quality, a slight improvement from the previous day. The air quality index, on a scale of 0 to 500, was 72 on Tuesday against 86 on Monday, both in the 'satisfactory' category. According to the air quality early warning system, the city is set to enjoy 'satisfactory' air till Aug 1.
