Kullu landslide: watch the scary video of Buildings collapse

Several houses in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu district collapsed like a pack of cards on Thursday morning due to a rain-caused landslide. 

The terrifying episode was captured on video, and while the amount of the damage has yet to be determined, there has been no indication of life loss, as the buildings were evacuated a few days ago. 

The severe landslip occurred in a market area of Anni, a town in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu district, 76 km from the district headquarters in Kullu.

CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on the issue:

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said the administration noticed the risk and evacuated the commercial building two days ago. However, multiple houses can be seen crumbling in the pictures.

As seen in the video, at least eight to nine large buildings collapsed near a bus stop in Anni town. According to preliminary indications, two banks were housed in one of the buildings that fell in Thursday’s landslip.

“Disturbing images emerge from Anni, Kullu, showing a massive commercial building collapsing amid a devastating landslip.” 

It is worth noting that the government noticed the risk and successfully evacuated the building two days ago, said CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu in a tweet.
