A flashflood — triggered due to surge in water level of Surcho Khad in Bhaba valley under Kinnaur district — washed away a wooden bridge. While the road connectivity has been affected, no loss of life has been reported in the incident.
As per the district administration, the incident occurred on Wednesday near the remote Surcho village, when water level of the Khad surged following heavy rainfall, triggering panic amongst the locals.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Kinnaur Dr Amit Sharma said that the flashflood was reported in a remote area, which does not have proper road connectivity. It is only connected to rest of the district via a wooden bridge. He said that the bridge gets damaged almost every year during the monsoon. He said that restoration work is underway and connectivity will be restored soon.
