So far, the floods have claimed 43 lives and damaged crops across over 1.71 lakh hectares, leaving farmers in deep distress.

This is Punjab where every household is stepping up for flood relief. Not just for people, but for the voiceless souls too, with food, fodder, and care.

While some parts of Punjab reported only light rainfall over the last 24 hours, bringing brief respite, the overall flood situation remains grim.

State government's data:

1,902 villages across 23 districts have been affected.

3.84 lakh people are impacted.

20,972 people have been evacuated.

Crops on 1.71 lakh hectares have been destroyed.

The death toll has risen to 43.

Responding to an urgent request from Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner, the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) on Friday reduced the outflow from Bhakra Dam from 85,000 to 70,000 cusecs.

The move comes after reports of possible breaches along the Sutlej river embankments. To aid repair efforts and prevent flooding in vulnerable areas, BBMB will now release approximately 50,000 cusecs into the Sutlej over the next six hours.
