Punjab’s situation is very bad due to floods

Punjab is currently struggling with the biggest flood in many years. This flood has come due to heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir along with the boom of Sutlej, Vyas and Ravi rivers. Due to continuous rains, seasonal drains also came in spate, which worsened the situation.

So far 56 people have died

According to the news agency PTI, 56 people have died in this disaster so far and the crops standing in about 1.98 lakh hectares have been completely destroyed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted an aerial survey of flood affected areas on 9 September and took stock of the situation. After this, he announced an additional assistance of Rs 1,600 crore to Punjab for flood relief, which is different from the already released package of Rs 12,000 crore.
