Flood Alert in Punjab: Sutlej River Swells, Live Images Show Sri Anandpur Sahib Under Threat
The release, coupled with the natural inflow from cloudbursts, has caused the Sutlej's water level to rise suddenly.
Flood Alert in Punjab's Sri Anandpur Sahib Latest News, Sutlej River Water Level Today: A flood-like situation has emerged in parts of Punjab as the water level in the Sutlej River rose alarmingly, triggering widespread concern across low-lying areas. The sudden surge in water has been attributed to cloudbursts in neighbouring Himachal Pradesh, leading to heavy runoff downstream.
LIVE visuals from Sri Anandpur Sahib, a historic and religiously significant town, show rising waters dangerously close to fields. Locals and pilgrims have been asked to remain vigilant, and authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
According to reports, the Bhakra Dam authorities have increased water release to manage the reservoir levels after incessant rainfall in the catchment areas of Himachal Pradesh. The release, coupled with the natural inflow from cloudbursts, has caused the Sutlej’s water level to rise suddenly.
The Punjab State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) has issued alerts in several districts, including Rupnagar, Ludhiana, Ferozepur, and Moga, among other areas of the state, warning residents to stay away from the riverbanks and avoid travel to flood-prone areas.
As visuals of swollen rivers, submerged fields, and anxious residents circulate widely on social media, concerns are mounting over potential crop damage and disruption to infrastructure.
