Eyewitnesses and environmental observers describe the scene as symptomatic of deeper ecological trauma—pointing to systemic lapses in forest monitoring and enforcement. The incident bears a troubling resemblance to an earlier episode this year, when large quantities of timber surfaced in the Pandoh Dam reservoir.

Shinkula Pass witnesses its first snowfall of the season.

Kullu Villagers Pull Off a Unavailable Feat In the rain-battered valleys of Kullu’s Lagghati, where roads have crumbled and life has come to a standstill, a group of villagers stunned everyone with their ingenuity. With the main road between Mangarh and Jakdel villages—via Nagozhaud–Doghri–Samanan—completely washed away, vehicles were stranded and people cut off from basic mobility. But what happened next looks straight out of an action film. Determined not to give up, locals tied ropes and iron wires, and with sheer grit, they hoisted an entire jeep across the broken stretch of road. Step by step, inch by inch, the vehicle dangled dangerously before finally landing safely on the other side. The episode is now being hailed as a testament to the sheer willpower and resilience of the Pahadi people, who refuse to bow down before nature’s fury. A video of the daring act is going viral—drawing admiration for their courage, but also criticism from some who call the stunt reckless and unsafe. #Kullu #HimachalPradesh
