Floodwaters Surge Across Punjab Border Areas, Villages Inundated
Severe flooding has unleashed large-scale devastation across northern India - from Delhi to Punjab, Himachal Pradesh to Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttarakhand. Rivers have overflowed, inundating villages, destroying homes, and battering infrastructure. NDTV’s extensive ground coverage highlights the scale of the disaster, with field reports from the worst-affected areas.
In Punjab's Gurdaspur district near the Kartarpur Corridor - close to the Pakistan border - NDTV's Reet Kaur Sahni described widespread inundation, with entire villages submerged and residents surviving on rooftops. Key agricultural lands, almost ready for harvest, now lie underwater. Locals reported that floodwaters surged in during the early hours, cutting off connectivity and disrupting the supply of essentials.
