Punjab flood victims do not seem to be receiving any assistance at this time. This is because the state’s three dams‘ water levels have all approached or beyond the danger threshold.
Pong Dam Level Rising
On Thursday, the water level at Pong Dam increased by 14 feet over the danger limit. Furthermore, the water level at Bhakra Dam is just a foot above the danger threshold. The Bhakra flood gates have now been opened from seven to ten feet in order to ensure the dam’s safety. Floods are now more likely to occur in the regions around the Sutlej River as a result.
The Sutlej embankments are not strong
The Sutlej embankments in Ludhiana have deteriorated in five locations, and the army is working to quickly build a ring dam in Sasrali hamlet, which is 200 meters behind the embankment and covers one kilometer. The Sutlej and Beas rivers are in flood as a result of the Bhakra and Pong dams‘ constant water discharge.
Because of Sutlej, Rupnagar, Ludhiana, and Jalandhar are at risk of flooding. At the Harike Pattan Headworks in the Tarn Taran area, the buildup of water from both rivers poses a risk of embankment breaking. The situation in the flood-affected villages of Ferozepur and Fazilka is becoming worse as a result of the water discharge from here.
So far, 43 people have died as a result of the state’s floods. Floods have impacted 3.84 lakh people across 1,685 villages. In addition, crops totaling 1.71 lakh hectares have sustained damage.
Teams from the Army, Air Force, NDRF, and SDRF are always working on rescue and relief missions. Bhagwant Mann, the chief minister, has made the decision to place an officer in each of the communities devastated by the flood. You may file any flood-related complaint with this officer.
Ghaggar began causing mayhem as well
There have also been incidents involving the Ghaggar River, which flows through the regions of Patiala, Sangrur, and Mansa. Floods have affected Patiala’s Ghanaur region. On Thursday, 16 persons who were stranded in this disaster were rescued.
A second-day landslide in Kullu left one person dead and six missing.
Rainfall on Thursday caused landslides in many locations around Himachal. Additionally, landslides persisted for the second day at Kullu’s Akhada Bazaar. The thing struck two homes. One person died, buried under the debris.
