Himachal Pradesh has been observing continuous rainfall for the last few days in the ongoing rainy season resulting in landslides in several parts of the state.

Road communication in the hilly state has been severely impeded because of the frequent reports of landslides taking place and blocking many critical roads in different parts of the state.

The Mehli-Shoghi bypass road in Shimla has been closed for vehicular movement because of landslides amid continuous rainfall. As per the data available with the State Disaster Management Authority, about 22 links roads and 3 National Highways were closed due to landslides in Himachal Pradesh.
