Big Picture

Monsoon fury continues with a fresh cloudburst in Bilaspur causing damage to vehicles and farms; the statewide death toll has risen to over 380, with hundreds of roads remaining blocked.
Union ministers visited disaster-hit areas like Kullu and Chamba to assess damage and assure central assistance, while the BJP has urged for transparent use of relief funds.
The state government suspended the board of the Kangra Central Cooperative Bank after NABARD detected significant financial irregularities.
In a major healthcare development, a robotic surgery facility was inaugurated at Tanda medical college, with the Chief Minister promising upgrades to all medical colleges within a year.
The proposed Bulk Drug Park in Una has received environmental clearance from the Centre, marking a significant step for the major industrial project.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe multiple cases of sandalwood theft in Hamirpur district.
Key infrastructure is slowly being restored, with the Keylong-Manali bus service resuming after 21 days, though an MLA continues his fast over stalled highway work.
