Whether in Mandi or Manali, the weather remains unyielding. Devastating rainfall in Himachal Pradesh has plunged the region into a state of despair. Over the past few days, unrelenting downpours have wreaked havoc, leaving citizens grappling with immense challenges. Homes have been washed away, roads rendered impassable, and the lives of countless people disrupted.
In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a PRTC bus travelling from Chandigarh to Manali has been discovered submerged in a river after an agonising four-day search. The bus, which embarked from 43 ISBT Chandigarh at 2:30 PM, tragically failed to reach its destination due to treacherous weather conditions.
While authorities remain uncertain about the exact number of passengers on board, they have opted for a period of silence as they gather more information. According to the available information, the driver and conductor have been unresponsive since Sunday, intensifying the mounting anxiety and unease.
Rescue teams are valiantly working around the clock, meticulously scouring the scene for further insights. As we await more detailed updates, it is paramount that we prioritise our safety and unite in prayer for all those affected by this devastating incident.
Rain has the power to bring joy to our hearts, yet when it pours relentlessly, it has the potential to shatter the very essence of happiness in someone's life.
