The IMD has issued a Red Alert for several districts, including Kullu, Kangra, Mandi, Shimla, Chamba, Solan, Sirmaur, Una, Hamirpur, and Bilaspur.

🚧 Essential Travel Advisory:
🔴 Avoid all non-essential travel to the hills during this period—your safety is the top priority.
📲 Follow official updates from the IMD, state disaster departments, and local authorities for real-time weather and road information.
🌘 Avoid night travel—low visibility and slippery terrain pose serious risks.
🌊 Stay away from rivers, streams, and vulnerable slopes to avoid the risk of flash floods or sudden landslides.
🎒 Carry emergency supplies like dry food, drinking water, warm clothing, medications, torchlight, and a power bank.
📍 Inform loved ones about your travel route and expected check-ins—especially when heading to remote or interior regions.
🛣️ Anticipate delays, diversions, and blocked routes. Keep your plans flexible and allow for buffer time.
🥾 Postpone outdoor activities like treks, pilgrimages, and adventure drives in high-risk zones until conditions improve.
🚨 Do not underestimate weather warnings—stay safe, stay informed, and reconsider travel unless it’s absolutely necessary.
🏠 Better safe than sorry—stay indoors and wait for the situation to stabilize.
