00:05Unfortunately, four people have been reported dead so far.
00:0816 people have been reported missing in Himachal floods.
00:11Ten houses that stand completely damaged.
00:15And unfortunately, nine people have been washed away in these dastardly floods.
00:22Schools, colleges have all been declared shut down.
00:25Those are the pictures on your screens of the widespread damage that it continues.
00:30To cause, despite the fact that rescue operations are underway.
00:33But the circumstances on the ground, extremely challenging.
00:38Where the floods have now washed away.
00:40Ten homes completely.
00:42Nine people have been washed away is what we understand so far.
00:45Four people have been confirmed dead.
00:47The casualty could rise.
00:53And my colleague Aman Bhardwa joining us from Monday to take us through the latest details.
00:58As we stay with these pictures.
01:00Aman, extremely disturbing to what it is like.
01:04Even in terms of the rescue operations that are underway.
01:07How challenging is it for the officials on the ground?
01:10And how does it progress?
01:11It's still challenging because the weather conditions are not favorable.
01:20And there is no road connectivity.
01:22Even the mobile network is very poor here.
01:25Because from the last 24 hours, there is a continuous rain for which there was no electricity.
01:30There was no water supply.
01:31Even the road connectivity was damaged by the landslide and other factors.
01:34Due to which the people's mobile was not charged, there is an ability to connectivity by the network as well.
01:43And it's hard to look at that in which area, how are the effects of casualty.
01:49But the local administration, though, somehow is preparing details that in which area, which sector, the effect is, how much the effect is there.
02:02And also, there are more than nine people who washed away with this flash flood and clouds burst.
02:09The level of the Bayas River is also enhanced from the last 24 hours.
02:14And even now also, the release of water from Pando Dam in Bayas is more than 44,000 kiosic.
02:23And also, there are four confirmed deaths still now.
02:27Nine people washed away.
02:29And more than 100 people are rescued by the local administration.
02:34And teams of SDRF, NDRF are on grounds still.
02:37But now, though there is a relief from the rain, but after regular intervals, there is a continuous heavy rain.
02:44And for the next 24 hours, there is a red alert that has been issued by the Weather Department.
02:48You see the condition.
02:49We are on this slip road in Imachal.
02:54You see even the remote areas in the internal sector of Mandi, how they are effective.
02:59Even the small roads, they are also being disrupted by this landslide and the heavy rainfall.
03:08Even the big trees you will see are falling on the road.
03:12And also, it's highly difficult for the rescue teams or the local people here to move from one place to another.
03:18And also, other side, there is a heavy rain, poor connectivity, down with mobile network and mobile batteries as well.
03:26But local administration so far, in the last 24 hours, prepared and data that now four confirmed deaths, nine people washed away.
03:36And approximately 100 people are being rescued.
03:39Still, there are more than 16 people which are being missing from their particular area, from their villages.
03:47And you see Sneha, the Thunag area, Karsog area, Dharampur and Gohar.
03:52These are four places which are majorly affected by the cloudburst because at three places there is a cloudburst and other are being affected by the heavy rainfall and flash flood.
04:04And in these areas, local administration has been keeping a close watch, close eye and also they are trying to communicate with the people so that they can be helped out in a way.
04:15They can be rescued out, but the loss they have been bearing is very hard to cover because more than 26 cattle of these localites are washed away with the water.
04:33And also, more than 10 houses have been completely damaged.
04:37So, you see the effect which the people have been facing and the consequence of this poor weather.
04:44Oh, yes, absolutely.
04:45And one can only imagine what these families are going through.
04:48But the authorities that are coming to their rescue and the kind of help they provide is also important at this point.
04:54I want to thank you for getting us the latest.
