Nine tourists are killed and three others are brutally injured in multiple landslides that took place on Sunday in Himachal Pradesh’s Kinnaur district.  Sources said that the tourists were travelling in a vehicle on which heavy boulders fell killing nine of 11 tourists.  Indo-Tibetan Border Police teams have been pressed to rescue work.

The chief minister of Himachal Pradesh Jai Ram Thakur expressed his condolences and said,  “I spoke to Kinnaur district administration and enquired about the incident and gave them proper guidelines. The administration has started relief work. The affected are being attended to immediately,”

Terrifying footage of boulders coming down from the top of the mountain emerged on social media. The video shows the boulders that came down Batseri bridge in the Sangla valley of Kinnaur collapsed, the video shows. Sources further informed that among the dead travellers, some of them were from Delhi. They were on their way to Chitkul, which is a popular tourist spot in Himachal Pradesh. Superintendent of police, Kinnaur district, Saju Ram Rana said a rescue operation is going on.

The report further said that the incident took place at around 2.15 pm and as evident from the footage, locals who were recording the rockslides raised an alarm after the boulders started coming down from the top of the mountain. First, a massive splash in the Baspa river and then the bridge on the river caved in.

On Saturday, Himachal Pradesh director general of police Sanjay Kundu issued a warning on his Twitter account asking people to not venture too close to water bodies. “Himachal Pradesh is blessed with natural beauty which attracts people to rivers, rivulets, lakes and ponds,” he wrote adding 156 persons lost their lives due to drowning in the 13-month period between January 1, 2020, and January 31, 2021.

The incident comes weeks after Himachal Pradesh witnessed a flash flood in which at least three were killed and several got stranded.
