In Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu district, a series of rain-induced landslides on Thursday morning caused multiple houses to collapse in rapid succession, resembling the falling of a deck of cards. The distressing incident was captured on camera, while the extent of the destruction remains to be assessed. Thankfully, no loss of life has been reported so far, as the buildings had reportedly been evacuated a few days earlier. The catastrophic landslides occurred within a market area in Anni, a town situated 76 km away from the Kullu district headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chief Minister, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, explained that the local administration had identified the risk and successfully evacuated a commercial building two days before the incident. However, contrary to these efforts, a number of houses can be seen collapsing in the video footage. The unsettling visuals showcase approximately eight to nine sizable structures crumbling near a bus stand in Anni. Reports indicate that one of the collapsed buildings housed two banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
