The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rain alert for Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh over the next seven days.

Persistent monsoon activity is expected to trigger intense showers, especially in hilly and flood-prone areas.

Authorities have advised residents and tourists to exercise caution as the risk of landslides and flash floods remains high.

Travel plans to higher altitudes may face disruption due to waterlogging and blocked roads.

People are urged to stay updated with official weather bulletins and follow safety advisories.

This extended wet spell could bring significant rainfall accumulation across the Himalayan region this week.
