Torrential rains. Flash floods. Lives uprooted.
This monsoon, Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab are battling nature’s fury. Weeks of relentless rain have turned rivers into raging torrents, sweeping away homes, farmlands, and entire communities. Families who had been preparing for harvest now stand in knee-deep water, watching the fruits of their labour disappear.
In the remote valleys of Jammu & Kashmir, cloudbursts and landslides have cut off access to mountain communities. Homes have collapsed under the weight of water and mud. Bridges and roads lie broken, leaving families isolated and without basic supplies. For children and the elderly, every day is a struggle for food, water, and safety.
In Punjab, whole villages lie submerged. Families are stranded on rooftops or crammed into makeshift shelters, their farmlands and livestock washed away. For many, this is the worst flooding in decades, an unthinkable blow just before harvest season.
The devastation is not just physical; it has torn away people’s sense of security. Mothers wonder how to feed their children, farmers face an uncertain future without crops, and families who once lived with little now have nothing left at all.
