Kuldeep Singh's house was tragically buried under a mound of debris

SHIMLA: A Devastating cloudburst in the picturesque district of Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh, has left a trail of destruction in its wake, with reports indicating that five members of a single family are missing. This grim news was confirmed by local officials, who are currently leading rescue operations in the affected area.

The cloudburst, which occurred on Thursday, has led to a sharp rise in the water level of the Giri river, a significant tributary of the Yamuna. The overflowing river has breached its banks, causing water to inundate nearby residential areas. The scale of destruction caused by the cloudburst in Sirmaur is reported to be extensive.
