Shimla, Aug. 30 -- A woman was killed while another is feared missing after a landslide buried two residential houses in the remote village of Patarna in Karad panchayat under the Anni subdivision of Kullu district, on Friday morning. The landslide, triggered by heavy rainfall, engulfed the houses in a massive heap of debris. According to initial reports, two women were feared trapped or swept away by the landslide. One body has been recovered from the spot, while a search is underway to trace the victim. Anni sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Laxman Kanet confirmed the incident and reported that search operations are underway to locate the second woman. Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Anni, Lokinder Kumar, speaking to media persons in Shimla on Friday, said relentless rainfall since last night has wreaked havoc in his constituency. "Since last night, there has been heavy rainfall in my constituency, both in the construction belt and in the Anni region. Rivers and streams are overflowing, and the situation is serious. In our Karad panchayat's lower Patarna village, a major landslide occurred in which two women went missing. I have been told that one body has been recovered, while the other is still buried," Kumar said before leaving the assembly session to reach the affected area. He added, "The local road linking the villages has been closed due to the landslide." Heavy rain triggered flash floods in Lipa village of Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh on Friday morning. The swollen Bhogti drain razed two houses and two people were buried, who were safely taken out by the villagers. Meanwhile, in Khadvi village of Kullu, three houses were also hit by a landslide. Even as the administration has intensified efforts to evacuate stranded Manimahesh pilgrims, with most roads washed away in floods and landslides triggered by heavy rains in the area pilgrims will have to walk for 15 to 20 kilometers till they reach the point from where they can be ferried in vehicles. Meanwhile, Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) has deployed buses to ferry pilgrims from Kalsooni which is the point till where road connectivity exists. "As many as 21 buses have been deployed to evacuate pilgrims. More buses are likely to be added. As roads have been washed away people have set on foot to return home," Chamba additional district magistrate (ADM) Amit Mehra. Officials said the number of buses would be increased further depending on the inflow of pilgrims. Authorities have deployed manpower as well as machinery to restore access to Bharmour, which remains completely cut off. So far, 10 pilgrims have died during the yatra this year since August 24. The district administration has also released lists of stranded individuals who have been accounted for and are safe. However, the absence of many names from these lists has caused panic among relatives desperately seeking information. District police have created an emergency WhatsApp group through which information related to the affected individuals is being shared. There is still no news from the remote villages in the tribal region, further deepening concerns about the extent of damage and hardship. According to the meteorological department, there will be no respite from rain in the state for the next six days. The met department in a statement said that heavy rainfall is likely over parts of Himachal Pradesh from August 29 to September 2 with very heavy rain likely from August 29 evening to August 31.
