The SDMA's Cumulative Loss Report (as of July 10) reveals that the largest number of rain-related deaths occurred in Mandi district (17 deaths), Kangra (12 deaths) & Kullu (3 deaths).
Ranaut's Mandi visit amid ravaging flash floods was met with criticism after she said parliamentarian doesn’t have permission to allocate funds in case of a disaster.
SDMA also confirms 23 flash floods and 19 cloudburst events so far this monsoon, along with 16 landslides, underscoring the scale of disruption across hill districts.
