Shimla: A severe storm lashed Shimla in the afternoon leading to trees falling on the road, retaining walls giving way and slush from overflowing streams disrupting traffic in which one vehicle was buried.
Trees coming off and falling onto the roads at Tara Hall School, near the High court and near Indira Gandhi Medical College led to traffic coming to a halt on most of the circular road in the city for over about 3 hours. By 3 p.m. the city had recorded 80 mm of rain.
Deputy commissioner JS Rana said that no one vehicle was damaged by slush from an overflowing stream but no one was injured in the incident.
The traffic jam also caused disruption of traffic on the Kalka-Shimla-Rampur highway as the road passes through the city.Read Full Story
