Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu confirmed that the state has suffered infrastructure losses exceeding <strong>Rs 3,056 crore<\/strong>, impacting key sectors such as transport, power, and water supply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The scale of destruction is unprecedented. Roads, bridges, power lines, and water supply schemes have all been severely hit,&#8221; said CM Sukhu, addressing the media after a high-level review meeting. The government is currently assessing the full extent of the damage and is preparing detailed reports to seek additional assistance from the Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most severely impacted areas is the <strong>Chamba district<\/strong>, where the annual <strong>Manimahesh Yatra<\/strong> has turned tragic. According to official reports, <strong>16 pilgrims have lost their lives<\/strong>, with <strong>four bodies still trapped<\/strong> in Kugti village of Bharmour. Despite continued rescue efforts, <strong>incessant rainfall and harsh terrain<\/strong> are delaying the recovery operations. To expedite the process, the district administration has deployed <strong>20 porters<\/strong> to help retrieve the remaining bodies.<\/p>\n<p>CM Sukhu also addressed concerns regarding the evacuation of stranded pilgrims. \u201cThere is no discrepancy in the figures being reported. Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri has already informed the Assembly that <strong>3,257 pilgrims were safely brought from Manimahesh to Bharmour<\/strong>,\u201d Sukhu clarified.<\/p>\n<p>He further added that out of the estimated <strong>15,000 pilgrims stranded during the Yatra<\/strong>, over <strong>10,000 have been safely evacuated<\/strong> and transported to their homes using <strong>Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) buses<\/strong>, <strong>free of cost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The state government has issued alerts in vulnerable regions and is coordinating with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Army, and local agencies to continue relief and rescue operations.<\/p>\n<p>The declaration of the state as &#8220;disaster-affected&#8221; will pave the way for increased funding, faster aid disbursement, and greater logistical support from central agencies in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Himachal Pradesh Declared Disaster-Affected as Flash Floods and Landslides Cause Rs 3,056 Crore Damage.\u00a0 &nbsp;
