Heavy Rainfall: The Sutlej, Beas, and Ghaggar rivers are swelling as a result of Himachal Pradesh’s heavy and ongoing precipitation.
Widespread Effect: Punjab is seriously at risk of flooding due to the rising river levels. The Beas River is in a torrential spate, according to other recent reports from the area, and the water level of the Ghaggar River has been rising, causing advisories for neighbouring settlements.
Historical Context: Punjab suffered greatly during the 1988 floods, which brought home how dire the current situation is. The parallels to that catastrophe highlight how urgent the situation is and how much damage may be done.
