Himachal Pradesh will take a year to rebuild the infrastructure wrecked by the heavy rains this monsoon but the state is up to the ”mountain-like challenge”, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said on Wednesday.
He said the estimated damage in the two devastating spells of rain—this week and in July—is about Rs 10,000 crore. So far, this monsoon, which arrived on June 24, 314 people have died in rain-related incidents. Rain this week triggered landslides across the state, with the death toll rising to 57 on Wednesday after a woman’s body was pulled out of the debris of a collapsed Shiv temple in Shimla, officials said.
