Punjab Floods: Randeep Hooda joins relief operations, watch

Punjab is facing one of its worst floods in decades, with over 1,400 villages across 23 districts submerged due to heavy monsoon rains and overflowing rivers. The disaster has claimed more than 30 lives, displaced over 3.5 lakh residents, and destroyed around 1.5 lakh hectares of farmland. Rescue operations by the Army, NDRF, BSF, and local authorities are underway, including evacuations, drone deliveries of essentials, airlifts, and relief camps for affected families.
