Rain causes devastation in Kullu and Mandi

Along with Shimla, Kullu and Mandi have been receiving intermittent rains for the last 24 hours, due to which the rivers and streams are overflowing. In view of the Meteorological Department's heavy rain alert, the gates of both the dams, Larji and Pandoh, located in Mandi district on the Beas river have also been opened. At the same time, in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, on the Hanogi Devi mountain, at Jogni turn, the rainy waterfalls are flowing in such a way that an accident can happen anytime.
