The department of Weather has issued a red alert in Himachal Pradesh and three districts in Uttrakhand as the rain lashes out many states in India

Rains continue to wreak havoc in Himachal Pradesh, red alert issued

A red alert has been issued for Himachal Pradesh and three districts in Uttrakhand as the rains lash the hill states for the fourth consecutive day.

The hill state of Himachal Pradesh continues to reel under the destruction triggered by torrential rain

A red alert has been issued for Himachal Pradesh and three districts in Uttrakhand as the rains lash the hill states for the fourth consecutive day.
Several deaths have been reported in the areas due to the continuous downpour that resulted in subsequent landslides and a trail of destruction across north India.
Visuals of bridges collapsing, buildings being swept away by raging rivers and massive mudslides have surfaced online.&nbsp;
Himachal Pradesh is reported to be the worst hit with most parts of the state being inundated due to flash floods.&nbsp;
According to official figures, 31 people have died in Himachal Pradesh so far and public property worth Rs 3000 crores to 4000 crores has been damaged.
The neighbouring Uttrakhand has reported five deaths while Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Rajasthan each reported one rain-related death.

Nigeria is battling its worst floods in a decade after heavy rains across the region.
At least 20 people died this week, according to authorities, and more than 300 people were killed in flooding incidents so far this year.
The floods have affected half a million people across 27 states, according to the National Emergency Management Agency.
Hundreds have been injured and some 100,000 people have been displaced, the agency added.
The disaster management agency is warning of "serious consequences" in the coming weeks as two dams have begun to overflow.
With just over 206 million people, Nigeria is Africa's most populous country.
Floodwaters have destroyed thousands of hectares of farmland, worsening fears of a disruption of food supplies.
They drowned crops across the northern region, which produces much of what the country eats.
This has raised concerns that it could further affect supplies already disrupted by armed conflict in the northwest and central regions.
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency predicts more floods in 2022 than last year due to "excessive rainfalls".

As Pakistan battles worst floods in recent history, vulnerable sections of the population, such as pregnant women and children, are particularly affected.
 The United Nations Population Fund has said that almost 650,000 pregnant women in flood-hit areas require maternal health services to ensure a safe pregnancy and childbirth — with up to 73,000 expected to give birth in September. The UN agency stressed that the women will need skilled birth attendants, newborn care and support.
At campsites, many of them government schools turned into relief camps, stranded people and their livestock live side-by-side in cramped conditions without sanitation. And many women find it distressing to share living space with strangers, particularly men.
Pregnant women at the camps also complain of a lack of female doctors and midwives to help them. Most of them have resisted being examined by visiting male doctors as in Pakistan's conservative society, it is often deemed inappropriate for women to consult male doctors, especially for gynecological issues.

Scary visuals of water flowing violently out from an under-construction dam in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar emerged on 14 August. Water gushed out through a channel dug up to drain the dam on Karam river after a breach was detected in its wall.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan Chouhan said that there was no need to worry and efforts were on to drain out water from the reservoir. He called the steps taken after the dam breach detection as the "finest example of disaster management".
The breach was reported on 11 August after which an alert was sounded as 18 villages downstream were in danger of getting flooded.
The Opposition Congress party alleged corruption in the dam project and demanded a judicial probe into the incident. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) sought the resignation of Water Resources Minister Tulsi Silawat "on moral grounds" and also demanded a probe into the contract given to an allegedly corrupt firm for the construction of the dam.

In a curious statement, Telangana's Chief Minister reportedly claimed that a foreign conspiracy could be behind cloudburst incidents in India. K Chandrashekar Rao's statement came amid floods in Telangana's Godavari region.
The CM was quoted as saying in reports, "There is this new phenomenon called cloudburst. People say there is some conspiracy, we don't know how far that is true, that people from other countries are deliberately doing cloudburst in our country at certain locations. In the past they did it near Kashmir, at Ladakh-Leh, then in Uttarakhand and now we are getting some reports that they are doing it in the Godavari region."
Rao was visiting flood-hit Bhadrachalam on 17 July when he made the remarks. He announced allocation of ₹1,000 crore to build colonies in highlands as a permanent solution for residents of the flood-prone town.
A day earlier, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti party chief had performed a "shanti puja" for the flooded Godavari river.
Areas in Telangana are part of Indian regions flooded as monsoon rains continue in the country. Parts of other states like Odisha, Assam, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh are also reeling under floods.
