Ghaggar’s Fury: Patiala Villages on Flood Alert
Patiala district authorities have issued a flood warning to villages situated along the Ghaggar river following a sharp rise in water levels. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any emergencies immediately.
The Ghaggar, known for its unpredictable nature, has a history of causing significant damage during periods of heavy rainfall. Past flooding incidents highlight the vulnerability of riverside communities.
The lack of proactive government measures and effective inter-state coordination in managing the river’s flow is a major concern. This inaction transforms the Ghaggar, a vital resource, into a potential catastrophe.
This situation underscores the urgent need for improved flood management strategies and better cooperation between states sharing the river basin. The well-being of thousands depends on swift and decisive action to prevent a major disaster. The upcoming monsoon season adds further urgency to the situation.
