Himachal Pradesh has been severely affected by monsoon-related disasters, including cloudbursts and flash floods, particularly in the Mandi district. Since late June, the region has experienced heavy rainfall, with Mandi receiving 216.8 mm since Monday evening of June 30. Initial reports indicated one death and around 12 missing persons, but the death toll has since risen to 109 as of mid-July, with numerous people still missing. The State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) confirmed these figures, noting that the monsoon caused widespread devastation between June 20 and July 16, 2025. The floods and landslides have caused extensive damage, including the destruction of homes and livestock, and blocked 226 roads, resulting in estimated damages of Rs 883 crore. Drone footage has shown severe damage in areas such as Thunag Bazar in Mandi. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts extremely heavy rainfall continuing over the next five days across Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh, with heavy rain also expected in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan until Saturday.
