Cloudburst in Himachal! Beas River in Spate, Red Alert Issued – Now There Are Selfies
A sudden cloudburst in
Himachal Pradesh has caused widespread panic and destruction, with the
Beas River now flowing in full spate. Authorities have issued a red alert
in several districts, warning residents and tourists to avoid riverbanks and
landslide-prone areas. The situation remains tense as continuous rainfall
threatens to worsen conditions in the region.
Rescue teams have been deployed, and the National Disaster
Response Force (NDRF) is actively working with local authorities to
evacuate vulnerable areas. Roads have been washed away, and several houses near
riverbanks have sustained heavy damage. Schools and colleges in affected zones
have been shut down until further notice.
Despite the warning and visible danger, a strange and
disturbing trend has emerged — people taking selfies near the raging Beas
River. Risking their lives for a photo, many have been seen crowding dangerous
areas just to capture the dramatic backdrop. Officials have condemned this
behavior and urged citizens to prioritize safety over social media validation.
This isn’t the first time such carelessness has been
reported during natural disasters, but authorities are now considering strict
penalties for those ignoring safety warnings. The Himachal Pradesh government
has asked telecom operators to send out repeated SMS alerts to warn the public
against venturing close to water bodies.
