Himachal Pradesh: Rain has caused havoc in Sujanpur subdivision of Hamirpur district. In village panchayat Khairi, three houses came under the grip of a drain that suddenly overflowed after heavy rains at around 3 am on Sunday. Out of these, the house of Kishori Lal son of Danju Ram was the most affected, where the debris of the drain entered the house at night. However, it was fortunate that the family moved to a safe place in time and there was no loss of life. Villagers said that as soon as they heard a loud noise, people woke up from sleep and came out. The goods kept inside the house got damaged by getting buried in the debris. At the same time, the car parked outside the house was completely buried in the debris and turned into junk. Cracks have also appeared in the other two houses, due to which there is an atmosphere of panic among the families. Local people remained engaged in relief work throughout the night and kept trying to remove the debris till morning.
The Patwari reached the spot and took stock of the situation
