Several bridges in Himachal Pradesh collapsed due to the sheer force of gushing water following heavy rain in the hill state. People on social media shared visuals of many bridges in Himachal Pradesh that crashed into rivers where the water flow appeared extremely strong.
There were reports of shops being swept away in Manali, vehicles being washed away in flash floods in Kullu, Kinnaur and Chamba, and loss of agricultural land.
