IMD predicts heavy rainfall in parts of state till July 6; MeT sounds yellow alert in 10 districts
DHARAMSHALA: Hours after evacuation, a five-storeyed residential building collapsed in the Bhattakuffar area of Shimla as heavy rain continued to pound Himachal Pradesh on Monday, officials said.
Though there was no casualty in the incident that occurred in Mathu Colony situated on the road leading to Chamyana Super Specialty Hospital, it triggered panic among the residents of nearby buildings. Preliminary reports suggest that cracks might have developed due to the ongoing four-lane road construction in the area, which could have weakened the foundation of the building. The district authorities are now assessing the damage and the stability of surrounding structures.
According to India Meteorological Department (IMD), very heavy rainfall was observed at isolated places on Monday, while heavy rainfall was observed at a few places in the state during the last 24 hours.
The incident brought back memories of the August 14, 2023, Shimla monsoon fury, when heavy rain triggered a landslide in the Summer Hill area, bringing down a temple that led to the death of 20 people.
Meanwhile, trade at the Bhattakuffar Fruit Mandi has been disrupted since Sunday as stones rolled down the hill. Mandi was damaged in a landslide in 2020, but it has not been restored fully so far. A cloudburst was reported at Sikaseri village in Rampur tehsil of Shimla district. Officials said no loss of life was reported. However, 35 goats were washed away by a flash flood late due to cloudburst in the forest area near Ganvi Panchayat of Rampur tehsil.

Where is everyone?
We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look

MF Husain: Man and myth, art and artist
M F Husain is undoubtedly India's best known and perhaps most highly regarded modern artist. As an editorial in this newspaper put it last week, he is \"arguably the most inventive artist of Indian modernism\". This is why it's not just sad but upsetting that an MF Husain museum will open next month in Doha and not in the country of his birth.
