Flood in 9 Districts: Shah Spoke to CM-Governor
Bhakra Dam’s Gates Opened up to 4 Feet; Wall Collapsed on 4 Cars in Ludhiana.
Nine districts in Punjab are experiencing flooding. These consist of Hoshiarpur, Moga, Gurdaspur, Barnala, Firozpur, Kapurthala, Pathankot, Tarn Taran, and Fazilka. Government statistics show that 1312 communities have been impacted thus far.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann about this today. The home minister was informed of the situation by the governor and CM during the phone call.
Shah promised to help in whatever way he could.
Ludhiana Sunday’s intense rainstorm in Ludhiana caused major waterlogging, which disrupted daily life and caused mayhem. A wall collapsed on at least four parked automobiles, and water seeped into houses.
Ludhiana has had 246 mm of rain so far this month, which is 66% more than the typical amount. It hasn’t rained this much in August in the city since 2008.
Teams are working on the ground to remove the water from key areas, according to Aaditya Dachalwal, the municipal corporation commissioner. He claimed that because of their geographic location, some places are more vulnerable to waterlogging.
DC Declares: Prepared to Handle a Flood-Like Situation.

To guarantee that the city and district are free of waterlogging, the municipal corporation and excise drainage crews are putting in a lot of effort. Panchayats in the area have been instructed to remain vigilant and to avoid approaching any embankments.
