Himachal Pradesh - Road on a hill collapses during massive landslide in Himachal; video goes viral
Sirmaur: Aterrifying video of a massive landslide in Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh has emerged on social media which shows an entire stretch of road collapsing into the valley below.

The video shows a large part of a hilltop collapsing as boulders and rocks roll downhill, taking with them a stretch of road and uprooting trees. There has been no confirmation of any loss of life in the landslide in the remote part of Sirmaur so far.

Heavy rainfall in Himachal Pradesh has triggered multiple landslides in the region. Last week, nine people were killed in a landslide-related incident on the Sangla-Chitkul road in Himachal Pradesh's Kinnaur district.

A video of a bridge collapse in Basteri went viral on social media. In the video, boulders were seen rolling downhill, causing the bridge to collapse.
