PUNJAB FLOODS 2025

This book is a gripping chronicle of one of the worst disasters to strike the state in nearly four decades. In July 2025, relentless monsoon rains and glacial melt caused Punjab’s mighty rivers and canals to overflow, breaching embankments and submerging vast swathes of farmland, towns, and villages. The catastrophe devastated over 3 lakh hectares of crops, paralyzed infrastructure, displaced nearly four lakh people, and caused economic losses exceeding ₹13,000 crore. Through vivid accounts, the book captures both the destruction and the resilience of Punjab—farmers watching their fields drown, families losing homes, cities collapsing under water, and yet, communities uniting to rescue, feed, and rebuild. Beyond documenting tragedy, it raises urgent questions on climate change, disaster preparedness, and sustainable policies, while paying tribute to the unbreakable spirit of Punjab that refused to sink even when everything else was washed away.
