Overview

• Contractors are on site to restore the Kiratpur–Pandoh–Kullu–Manali corridor, with 10 locations washed away and five partly damaged, and NHAI offering support to repair PWD diversion routes open only to light vehicles.
• Fresh slides near Hanogi on Saturday forced another traffic suspension and damaged links around Manali, underscoring the fragile access even as crews attempt reopenings.
• The IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rain into early next week, heightening risks of further landslides, flash floods and operational setbacks across hill districts.
• Officials report 10 deaths during the Manimahesh Yatra with searches ongoing for the missing, as thousands of pilgrims have been evacuated by road and helicopter.
• State authorities count more than 550 roads closed, widespread power and water outages, and estimated losses of roughly ₹2,700 crore as restoration efforts scale up.
