Govt buildings, bridges washed away by flash floods in Himachal

As rains wreaked havoc in Himachal Pradesh on Thursday, officials said flash floods in River Ravi have washed away several government buildings at the remote Bada Bangal village in Kangra district.

However, no loss of life has been reported, they said.

“A primary and high school, the panchayat ghar, an ayurvedic dispensary and



a civil supplies store that housed about 70 quintals of ration were washed away in lower Bada Bangal on Tuesday. 

The village has been cut off from the rest of the state as two bridges were also swept away,” Baijnath Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Sankalp Gautam told the news reporter on Thursday, explaining that the communication has been scant.
