Moderate to heavy rains lashed several parts of the state today, triggering landslides at several places.

The Mandi-Kullu-Manali road was blocked at Pandoh restricting vehicular movement.

Some of the link roads in the interior areas of Mandi were also blocked and efforts were made to clear the roads at the earliest as the apple marketing season is already at its peak.
