Incessant rains have made rescue operations difficult, but the NDRF, fire brigade, and local administration are continuing the rescue operation with full efforts. Details of the incident This is the fourth landslide in Akhara Bazar in Kallu in the last three days. Heavy rains destabilized the mountain slopes, causing debris to fall on residential houses. Kallu Superintendent of Police Kathikan Gokul Chandran said that one body has been recovered, while three injured have been shifted to a regional hospital. Additional Deputy Commissioner Ashwini Kumar and Sub-Divisional Magistrate Nishant Kumar are supervising the relief activities at the spot. According to the police, incessant rains have increased the moisture in the soil, which has increased the risk of landslides. This incident was reported earlier in the day in Mandi. The landslide occurred just a day after a landslide in Sundernagar, where seven people were killed. Locals said rains had complicated rescue operations, and the arrival of machinery has revived hopes. Rescue efforts and challenges NDRF, fire brigade, and district administration teams are working day and night to pull people out of the rubble. However, incessant rains and unstable terrain are hampering rescue operations. Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukh has directed immediate relief and best medical facilities for the victims.
