A rescue operation was started by the district administration soon after the mishaps. Water and debris came onto the roads. Under the Chiragon area of Rohru subdivision, a woman labourer working in the apple orchard got buried in the landslide.

On Wednesday, half a dozen vehicles were also washed away in Chamba district and the Raison area of Kullu district in the flash flood. Three other people were also injured in the incident.

A yellow alert has been issued in many areas of the state from July 20 to July 23 . There is a possibility of heavy rainfall in the state till July 25.
