Incessant rain continues to cause havoc across Punjab, Bihar | Incessant rain complicated the flood situation in Punjab
further, leaving several people homeless and acres of cropland destroyed. With
the River Satluj flowing above the danger mark, floodwaters have affected low-lying
areas, crippling normal life in Punjab 's Ferozepur District. "People are facing
a lot of problems in commuting. School children and soldiers of the Border Security
Force (BSF) are also facing a lot of problems. No help has been given to us by
the government. Land owners and farmers are facing problems as their standing
crops spread over 7000 acres has been destroyed," said Gurmeet Singh. People said
they expected help from the government, but nothing was forthcoming. "Nobody from
the government has come here to assess the situation. The government is not providing
us any help. Our 500 to 700 acres of land has been damaged and nobody is here
to help," said Manmeet Singh, a resident of Ferozepur District. The flood situation
is also grim in Bihar 's Motihari District. Many homes have remained submerged,
rendering hundreds of families without any shelter. |
