Floods in Punjab “Man-Made Disasters,” Says PAC; Moves NGT Against BBMB and Punjab Govt. They added that BBMB released water from dams prematurely, triggering floods even before the safe water levels were reached. During the 2023 floods, BBMB data published on its website reportedly indicated human error, after which the data was removed from the public domain. PAC members concluded that floods in Punjab were not natural calamities but “man-made disasters”, caused by a combination of BBMB’s rigid dam management and the Punjab Government’s systemic negligence.
