Severe rainfall and flooding in the northern Indian state of Punjab have resulted in the deaths of 30 individuals and affected more than 354,000 people.
Rivers and reservoirs have reached critical levels, prompting large-scale evacuations and the establishment of numerous relief camps. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann described the floods as the worst since 1988.
The Indian government reported that 148,000 hectares of agricultural land have been submerged, causing significant crop damage. The Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy, along with multiple disaster response teams, are assisting with rescue operations. More than 35 helicopters and over 100 boats have been deployed to support relief efforts, according to international media sources.
