Beas river's changing course begins to damage homes

In the Baupur mand, the Beas' change in course has begun to damage houses. Large cracks have started appearing in the walls, forcing residents to leave their houses. Using a large boat provided by MP Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal, belongings from two houses were transported to a secure location

Gurvinder Singh, a flood-affected resident of Mubarakpur, said the river is now flowing in front of his house. The strong current is hitting his house head-on, shaking its foundations and causing severe cracks in the walls. Since early this morning, the house began collapsing, and he started moving items out immediately.

According to Gurvinder Singh, six houses, including his own, have been damaged due to the altered flow of the Beas. The large boat helps shift his belongings in time. Seechewal continued delivering meals to affected families amid rain today.

To address the shortage of cooking gas cylinders in flood-affected areas, Seechewal has been providing free, filled cylinders to those in need. He stated that homes have been submerged for the past 27 days. Recently, the demand for cooking gas cylinders has increased, so a vehicle was arranged, full of cylinders from Baupur bundh to the affected families. Today, 15 cylinders were distributed, he added.
