Over the past two weeks, the weather-related havoc has led to at least 100 deaths. More than 1,000 roads are closed as electricity and power infrastructure lay damaged, according to local reports.
“It’s one of the worst floods I have ever seen in my lifetime,” said Tikender Singh Panwar, the former deputy mayor of the state capital, Shimla, who is now a climate and urban activist. “It’s really catastrophic. And we can understand that the principal reason is climate change. That is not new.”
“We’ve seen rains all our lives, but the damage and the disaster have not been to the level we see now,” said Panwar. “I never used to see muddied waters in the rain. Now the rivers are brown because the roads were constructed without mountain ethos and ethics. … It’s a planned destruction of the Himalayas.”South of Himachal Pradesh, the capital city Delhi saw an unusual amount of rainfall in a short time over the past week, inundating crucial parts of the city.
The flood even reached the office of Delhi’s chief minister, the Supreme Court, and one of the capital city’s most essential junctions called ITO, causing the army to come in and repair the area’s drains as traffic was diverted, according to localSchools were shut across the north, including in the capital, where some 30,000 people were evacuated to relief camps, according to the AP.
