In neighbouring Haryana which was also hit by the fury of monsoon, several people were seen standing atop a bus which got overturned on a flooded road and waiting to be rescued.
The bus, which was coming from Himachal, met with accident on the flooded Ambala-Yamunanagar road and visuals showed its passengers getting trapped amid rising floodwaters. They were rescued on time with the help of a crane and rope.
Prime minister Narendra Modi spoke with the chief ministers of Himachal and Uttarakhand, another Himalayan state which also faced the wrath of the nature and assured them of help. Home minister Amit Shah also spoke with the chief ministers of Himachal and Punjab, another state which was affected.
