The Story in Brief
Heavy rains have lashed Himachal Pradesh, blocking over 100 roads and damaging 66 power transformers across the state, dnaindia.com reports. The downpour has disrupted normal life in several districts, with landslides and flash floods complicating rescue and restoration efforts. Officials are working to clear debris and restore electricity, but many areas remain cut off.
The Indian Opinion
Every monsoon, Himachal's infrastructure proves fragile and the same story repeats: blocked roads and snapped lines. The state government must shift from reactive rescue to preventive hardening of critical assets. A simple test for next year: will the number of transformers damaged drop by half after planned reinforcement, or will we read the same headline again?
