Union Minister of State for Women and Child Development Savitri Thakur has visited areas of Himachal Pradesh severely affected by recent natural disasters, including flash floods, landslides and cloudbursts on Saturday. She toured several locations along the Kullu–Manali route, covering Vaishno Mata Temple, Sabzi Mandi (Bandrol), Raison, Dohlu Nala, Fozal Nala, Duada Vihal, Jatehar Vihal (Patlikuhal), Nalsu Nala, Manalsu Nala, Solang, Palchang, Samahan, Bahang, and the 14th to 17th Mile stretches on the banks of the Beas River.

During her visit, the minister interacted with affected families, listened to their concerns and reviewed the progress of relief and rehabilitation measures.
