As heavy rains wreak havoc in Himachal Pradesh and neighbouring regions, several people have been left stranded in the state without any connection with their families. After actor Ruslaan Mumtaz shared his ordeal on social media, Rubina Diliak who is a native of Shimla, revealed how she had lost contact with her family.
Rubina Dilaik, who was terrified by all the visuals of floods telecasted on television, expressed her anxiety about not being able to reach out to her parents. Talking about the same, Rubina said, “The visuals on TV were scary. A few days ago, when there was no network and I couldn’t get in touch with my family for hours, I was worried. But thank God, I have been able to talk to my parents and they are doing fine. They are holding
up well but we are worried about them.”
Amid the ongoing crisis, many of Dilaik’s relatives, who reside in Shimla, have sought refuge at her parents’ farmhouse, located 108km north of the city. Talking about the same, the 33-year-old actress said, “Our house is situated on the foothills of the mountains, which offers some protection. But, landslides are inevitable. Fortunately, there have been no major losses so far... I hope things get better soon.”
Owing to the floods in Himachal, this has caused mayhem, leading to a shortage of proper drinking water. “There is a shortage of drinking water as the main water source for the city is flooded; the government is supplying water to people through tankers,” Dilaik added.
