Severe cloudbursts in Shimla, Kullu, and Mandi have claimed 4 lives, with over 50 people still missing after sudden rainstorms. The NDRF is struggling to reach the hardest-hit areas, with teams needing to travel on foot. Uttarakhand faces a similar crisis, with 9 dead in flash floods and the Ganga flowing dangerously high in Rishikesh. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has reviewed the situation, while nearly 200 Kedarnath Yatra pilgrims remain stranded. Red alerts are in place for both states as the situation worsens.
