Heavy rains lash Himachal

Hamirpur (HP), Jan 8 : Heavy rains lashed lower Himachal Pradesh including Hamirpur, Una, Bilaspur, Kangra and Solan districts on Saturday, paralyzing normal life.

The rains started in Hamirpur before dawn and quickly enveloped a sprawling region.

People wrapped themselves in heavy woolens to keep off the icy cool winds emitting from nearby Dhauladhar hills of the Himalayas, plunging the temperature.

There was less movement of people on the roads partly because it is a holiday for schools and colleges.

Markets opened late in many places.

Reports reaching here say the water level in the river Beas and its tributaries had risen and people were warned not to go near the river and rivulets.
