Flooding has caused a temple to collapse in the Northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh on Monday, killing nine people and leaving up to 25 others trapped in the rubble. Heavy rains have killed a further seven people elsewhere in the state. The temple in the state capital Shimla, a popular tourist area, collapsed around 8 a.m. local time, the state’s chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu told Indian news agency ANI during a visit to the temple site on Monday.
A further seven people died in the district of Solan on Monday after a cloudburst, Sukhu posted on X on Monday, saying he was “devastated to hear about the loss.” “We have directed the authorities to ensure all possible assistance and support to the affected families during this trying period,” Sukhu added. “I appeal to people to stay indoors, to not venture near rivers and landslide-prone areas,” Sukhu said.
