In August 2025, nearly 1,400 villages across more than 23
districts of Punjab were devastated by severe floods-the worst disaster in
the region since 1988. Unusually heavy monsoon rains in the upper catchment
areas of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir, combined with surplus water
releases from major dams such as Pong, Ranjit Sagar, and Bhakra,
intensified flooding downstream.
Districts along the Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej rivers were hit
the hardest, leaving homes, farms, and essential infrastructure submerged.
The impact has been catastrophic, displacing lakhs of
people and destroying livelihoods. Families are still
struggling to recover from the widespread devastation, with urgent needs
for food, clean water, shelter, medical
support, and education materials.
The Impact on Punjab's People
The floods swept away homes, farms, schools, and essential infrastructure. Families have been left with no homes, no livelihoods, and no source of income. Over 2.5 lakh people have been displaced, and more than 9,000 houses were either damaged or completely destroyed.
