After the onset of monsoon across India, nine days earlier than the expected date of July 8, several regions of the country have been covered with rain-laden clouds, which have brought respite from prolonged heat and humidity. Following this, heavy rain lashed Delhi-NCR and other parts of North India. Meanwhile, three people died in a road accident near Jalog, Shimla, amid continuous heavy rains due to monsoon in Himachal Pradesh on Monday.
The Shimla Disaster Management Authority confirmed that the vehicle met with an accident about four kilometres ahead of Jalog in Sub Tehsil Jalog. Following the incident, Patwari of the Ogli Gram Panchayat and police personnel rushed to the spot. Further information about the incident is awaited, as per the report of the news agency ANI.
The Shimla Disaster Management Authority also confirmed the collapse of a building in Mathu Colony on the road leading to Chamiyana Super Speciality Hospital. However, no casualties were reported as no one was residing in it.
On June 29, the heavy rain caused a five-storey building to collapse in Shimla. Following the incident, the building was evacuated last night, preventing any casualties, according to a report in Times Now.
