She also said that as an MP, she could only apprise the prime minister of the situation.
"I am deeply pained to see the plight of the people. They have lost family members, houses have been washed away, several people are still missing, but we can only console the families who have lost their kin, and now it is time to provide relief," the Hindi film actor said in Thunag panchayat, which was among several places in Mandi struck by a cloudburst incident on Tuesday.
Fourteen people have died, and a search is on for 31 missing, as cloudbursts, flash floods, and landslides caused massive destruction.
More than 150 houses, 106 cattle sheds, 31 vehicles, 14 bridges, and several roads have suffered damage in the disaster. A total of 164 cattle have perished.
