33 roads closed across Himachal

Thirty-three roads have been obstructed across the state due to the latest spell of precipitation over the last few days. At 10, most roads are obstructed in Kangra district, followed by eight in Mandi district. Eight power distribution transformers are non-operational at the moment.

While light to moderate rainfall has been recorded at many places and heavy rain at a few places since Thursday evening, weather over the next few days is likely to remain dry.

As monsoon has started withdrawing from some places in Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana, the Weather Department has not given any tentative date for its withdrawal from Himachal.

Last year, the monsoon withdrew from the state on October 6, which was 12 days behind the normal date of withdrawal.
