According to the Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority and the Revenue Department, the State has suffered damages amounting to more than \u20b9400 crore due to incessant monsoon rains. Search, rescue, and relief operations are underway, particularly in the worst-hit Mandi district, where several roads remain blocked and essential services disrupted. \u201cWe have recorded over \u20b9400 crore in losses so far, as entered in our system. But the actual damage is likely to be much higher,\u201d said DC Rana, Special Secretary of the State Disaster Management Authority and the Revenue Department, while speaking to the media on Wednesday (July 2, 2025).<br \/>\n\u201cOur primary focus at the moment is on search, rescue, and restoration. Detailed damage assessment will take time,\u201d he added. The worst-affected area remains Thunag subdivision of Mandi, where major restoration efforts are in progress. \u201cRoads are blocked, electricity and water supply have been hit, and vehicle movement has been severely impacted. Senior officials are stationed there. PWD engineers are overseeing road restoration, while the Director of Operations of the Electricity Board and the Chief Engineer of Jal Shakti are also present in Mandi,\u201d Mr. Rana said.<br \/>\nAs per the data available so far, 37 people have died due to rain-related incidents during the ongoing monsoon season. An additional 26 deaths have been reported due to road accidents during this period. In Mandi district alone, 40 people are reported missing, and extensive search operations are in progress, officials said.<br \/>\n\u201cA village in Mandi has been devastated. A relief camp has been set up and food packets were air-dropped yesterday by the Indian Air Force,\u201d Mr. Rana stated. Highlighting the broader climate context, DC Rana said that the impact of changing climate and global warming has hit the hill state of Himachal Pradesh too. \u201cThese events are a consequence of global warming and climate change. Himachal is not untouched by these impacts,\u201d Mr. Rana said.<br \/>\nAcross the State, 250 roads remain closed, more than 500 electricity distribution transformers (DTRs) are non-functional, and around 700 drinking water schemes have been affected. Besides the State Disaster Management Authority, local administration, police, Home Guards, SDRF, and central agencies, including the NDRF, are involved in coordinated response efforts.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, in Shimla, daily life has been thrown out of gear due to the downpour. School children are among those most affected. Tanuja Thakur, a school student from Shimla, expressed her distress: \u201cIt\u2019s raining heavily. Water is entering our classrooms, our clothes and books are soaked. Our teachers are telling us it\u2019s better to stay at home. Whether we attend school or not makes no difference right now because everything is wet and there\u2019s a sense of fear.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOur school is surrounded by trees. There is always a fear that a tree could fall. Thankfully, we are safe for now,\u201d she added. The administration continues to monitor the situation closely, with teams on high alert as the rain forecast remains severe for the coming days.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30453\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30453\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/12974870288725413689-300x156.jpeg\" alt=\"Heavy Rains Batters Himachal Pradesh; 37 Dead, \u20b9400 Crore Worth Of Damage Estimated\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heavy Rains Batters Himachal Pradesh; 37 Dead, \u20b9400 Crore Worth Of Damage Estimated<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SHIMLA, Jul 4: Over 37 people have died and \u20b9400 crore worth of property has been damaged as torrential rains once again disrupt life across Himachal Pradesh, according to the State Disaster Management Authority.
