How heavy rain is wreaking havoc across north India

Firstpost  

North India has turned into a watery mess as heavy rains continue to pound the region, claiming at least 15 lives. Heavy downpour lashed Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab and Delhi, which recorded its highest rainfall in a single day in July since 1982. A 30-year-old woman died in north Delhi’s Subzi Mandi after a wall collapsed while an auto driver died in Rohini after a tree fell on his vehicle following heavy rain. The monsoon fury in Himachal Pradesh led to landslides, killing five people and prompting authorities to issue a red alert of extremely heavy rains for 10 districts. Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu also tweeted, “I appeal to everyone not to go nearby any rivers or water bodies because there is a chance of further heavy rainfall in the next 24 hours… everyone must be cautious and we have instructed the administration as well to take all the precautions and alert the people.” The authorities have also ordered the closure of all schools and colleges in the area for two days – Monday and Tuesday.
