Himachal Pradesh experienced two of its most devastating monsoon seasons on record in 2023 and 2025, which caused unprecedented infrastructural and financial losses. Both seasons triggered severe flash floods, landslides, and cloudbursts that claimed hundreds of lives and severely damaged the state’s fragile ecosystem. PTI BPL MDO MDO
