More than 2,000 people rescued in flood-hit Ferozepur, Punjab

The flood situation in Ferozepur, a border district, remained serious on Wednesday as more than 2,000 people were rescued from affected villages in the past 48 hours, said officials.

The district administration, with support from the Army, BSF, NDRF, and police, has been carrying out round-the-clock rescue operations.

Villages worst hit by rising Sutlej waters include Kaluwala, Tendi Wala, Bagge Wala, Nihala Lavera, Nihala Kilcha, Habib Ke, Gatti Rajo Ke, and Navi



Gatti Rajo Ke. Residents were evacuated after water levels rose sharply, forcing many to leave their homes and livestock behind.

Deputy Commissioner Deepshikha Sharma said 12 relief camps have been established at Bagge Wala, Bare Ke, Dulchi Ke, Fatte Wala, Joege Wala, Dona Mathar, and Madi Ke.

These camps are providing food, drinking water, bedding, dry rations, milk for children, and basic medical assistance. Ambulance services and medical teams have also been deployed.
