Yesterday we had reported about how actor Karthi and the crew of his 17th film Dev, got stranded in Manali owing to the heavy rains and floods in Himachal Pradesh. An overflowing Beas river had submerged most of the roads, cutting off Manali from the rest of the state and leaving people with no means of transport or communication. It was said that it would take at-least 28 hours for their commute passage to get cleared.
Now, actor Karthi has mentioned in a tweet that though his director, cameraman and crew have still not been cleared for transport, they are all safe and that they will descend from the mountain top after a day.
Friends,

Few of us came back to Chennai last night. Director, Cameraman and crew are still in Manali but they are safe. Since there is no power and roads are cut off they will come down after a day. Hope rain stops soon!
Meawhile Subdivisional Magistrate Raman Gharsanghi has been quoted by IANS on this Manali situation as saying, "The traffic was partially restored through a narrow link road. Only small vehicles have been allowed..Chances of more landslides are high. The national highway between Kullu and Manali is still blocked at various places," Keep watching this space for more updates on the same.
