Two people were rescued hours after they were stuck in flash floods in Himachal Pradesh's Kullu district on Saturday, the police said.
They stuck in a nullah in Badagranwa near Beas river, which is in spate due to heavy rainfall, Kullu Superintendent of Police (SP) Gaurav Singh said.
A rescue team, including the fire brigade personnel, rescued them, the SP added.
Six people were also rescued from Neugal Khad near Om Hydro Power Project near Palamapur in Kangra on Saturday morning, an official said.
