Punjab floods: Ongoing floods in Punjab

Ongoing floods in Punjab have claimed 37 lives, as continued heavy rainfall and rising river levels disrupt daily life across several districts. The worst-affected districts include Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Fazilka, Kapurthala, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Hoshiarpur and Amritsar. Punjab is facing its worst floods since 1988, with over 1,300 villages submerged. Rough estimates suggest the scale of agricultural damage could be staggering — approximately 3 lakh acres (120,000 hectares) of paddy and other crops submerged just before harvest. Sutlej, Beas and Ravi rivers and seasonal rivulets are in spate due to heavy rainfall in their catchment areas in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir.
