Monsoon Fury: Five Villages Reconnected After Causeway Collapse
Heavy rains and subsequent river flooding in the region severed road access to five villages on August 7, 2025. A damaged causeway was the primary cause of the disruption, leaving residents isolated.
Drainage officials swiftly responded, addressing a significant crack in the Tiwana embankment caused by the high water flow. The crucial repair work ensured the reconnection of the vital road link.
Deputy Commissioner visited the affected area, personally assessing the damage and the ongoing repair efforts. He issued a strong warning to residents to avoid the riverbanks due to the continued risk of flooding.
This incident underscores the vulnerability of rural infrastructure during the monsoon season and highlights the need for robust disaster preparedness and timely repair mechanisms to minimise disruption to village life. The long-term implications for infrastructure resilience in the face of increasingly erratic weather patterns need urgent attention from authorities.
