"Thousands of residents have left their homes in the Punjab province as heavy floods swept through hundreds of villages on Friday. Footage shows the widespread disaster, with homes inundated and farmland submerged under torrents of floodwater. Rescue teams and volunteers help those still in the worst-affected areas, providing food and shelter for families and animals. "Some are dead, some are alive. There is a child. The child is with his relatives. There are animals. They are tied up. The animals are hungry. There is no food for the animals. There is no rations or water," said resident Sukdev Singh. According to reports, flooding caused by the severe overflow of the Chenab, Sutlej, and Ravi rivers due to heavy rain has affected over one million people and displaced around 250,000. Authorities have confirmed that at least 15 people have been killed, with rescue operations ongoing. The National Disaster Management Authority issued a severe flood warning for the Chenab River until the evening of August 31, with several areas expected to be affected."
