Flood situation remains grim in Fazilka & Ferozepur, villages near Kavawali bridge at risk
1 2 Bathinda: The flood situation in Fazilka and Ferozepur districts remains dire, with agricultural fields in over two dozen villages submerged. Water continues to flow into dhanis — small hamlets located within fields — and has surrounded several populated areas near villages. While the water has not yet entered residential habitations, some residents of dhanis have begun relocating to safer areas, carrying their valuable belongings. In Fazilka district, water has reached the surface of the Kavawali bridge, a crucial link for nearly a dozen villages near the international border with Pakistan. Villagers from Gulaba Bhaini, Teja Rohela, Mohar Jamsher, Dona Nanka, and Mahatam Nagar fear that if water begins flowing over the bridge — as it did during the Aug 2023 floods — their connectivity will be severed. Although another bridge was constructed near Teja Rohela, locals report that waterlogged fields and roads have made it inaccessible. The floodwaters from Kavawali are flowing toward the Sadqi border post and eventually reach the Suleimanki headworks in Pakistan. Meanwhile, discharge from Harike and Hussainiwala headworks remains high, with approximately 70,000 cusecs released from Hussainiwala, located near the Pakistan border. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo A portion of this water crosses into Pakistan as the Sutlej River meanders between the two countries, re-entering Indian territory at various points as the Sutlej creek. The water then flows into Pakistani districts including Ganda Singh Wala, Kasur, Okara, and Pakpattan via the Suleimanki headworks. In response to the worsening conditions, district administrations are actively providing relief, including medical and veterinary supplies. For villagers, the most urgent needs — besides food and medicines — are green fodder for livestock, as standing fodder crops have been destroyed by the floods. Asha workers have been instructed to conduct surveys in affected villages, while medical and rapid response teams remain stationed to assist residents.
