Heavy Rains Keep Punjab Rivers in Spate; Schools Closed Across DistrictsChandigarh: Punjab continues to reel under severe flooding triggered by heavy rainfall in the upper catchments of the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers. The surge has worsened the flood situation in Tarn Taran and Ferozepur, where many low-lying villages remain cut off. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has flagged intense convection over Punjab, issuing red alerts for heavy rainfall in districts such as Ludhiana, Sangrur, Barnala, and Mansa. Pathankot schools remained closed due to rising levels in the Ujh and Ravi rivers. District administrations across Punjab have urged residents to remain cautious and follow advisories closely as the state braces for another round of heavy rainfall.
