Shimla, June 24: The water level in the Sutlej river in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh has suddenly increased. This has created flood-like conditions. This situation has arisen not due to heavy rains but due to rapid melting of glaciers after summer. After the flood in Sutlej, the barrage of the 450 MW under-construction Shongtong Karcham Hydroelectric Project has been damaged.
Meanwhile, the monsoon has reached the entire state today. The Meteorological Center Shimla has officially announced this. The monsoon entered Shimla, Sirmour, Kinnaur and some parts of Kangra district on June 20. Four days later, the monsoon has covered the entire state.
