Ferozepur: Around 20 villages along the Satluj have been submerged due to 100-feet breach in its embankments. Large posse of army personnel & locals were deployed for rescue operation after an aerial survey of flood-affected area. Rail traffic on the Jalandhar-Ferozepur route was stopped due to heavy water on the railway track.
Several villages of the Lohian sub-division in the district submerged due to the breach. Other affected villages include Mundikalu, Mundala, Nasirpur, Giddarpindi, Barajot Singh, Nahal & Manak. The breach was noticed where Chitti bein (rivulet) merges with the Satluj river near Mundikalu village at midnight & within hours about 20 villages of the area were flooded with 8 to 10 feet water. Villages from the other side of the river, including Maida, Sajjanwal, Makhi, Sindrur, Khosa, Nawanpind Kharowal & Raima, were also flooded due to the breach.
