98 killed in Himachal Pradesh road accidents during monsoon season

Himachal Pradesh has recorded 98 deaths in road accidents during the monsoon season, with Chamba and Sirmaur districts emerging as the most severely impacted areas.

The spike in fatalities during the monsoon months reflects hazardous road conditions across the hilly state, where heavy rainfall, landslides, and reduced visibility create dangerous driving situations. The state's challenging terrain compounds these risks during adverse weather.

Authorities have flagged the crisis as monsoon road safety remains a pressing concern in Himachal Pradesh, requiring enhanced vigilance and adherence to traffic safety norms.
