Heavy rainfall and cloudburst activity in Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul-Spiti district have caused the Chandrabhaga River to rise sharply, partially submerging the Jobrang Bridge and triggering concerns over connectivity in the region. The rising water has affected movement around several nearby villages.
The situation has been worsened by flooding in local streams and nallahs. Authorities and residents are closely monitoring the river as rising water levels pose a threat to roads, bridges and other essential infrastructure. The Jobrang Bridge is an important connectivity link for surrounding habitations, making the disruption particularly significant.
The latest situation comes amid widespread heavy rainfall and flash-flood activity across Himachal Pradesh. Officials have urged people to remain cautious around rivers and vulnerable areas as rescue, relief and restoration efforts continue in affected parts of the state.
