Power, water supply affected in Palampur
The unprecedented heavy rain for the past 24 hours has paralysed normal life in Palampur, Baijnath and Jaisinghpur.
A number of roads were closed, dozens of houses suffered damage, drinking water supply was disrupted and the adjoining villages were without electricity. The local rivers were flowing above the danger mark.
A report reaching here said heavy rain in the upper area of the Dhauladhars resulted in flash floods in the local rivers. The roads to Hamirpur, Jaisinghpur and the Pathankot-Mandi national highway remained closed since morning.
