Ghaggar dubbed ‘river of grief’ by Punjab villages due to flooding
Villagers refer to Ghaggar as the 'River of grief' as it has spelt doom for over a 100 odd villages in the Malwa belt of Punjab. From floods, health ailments, poor land prices and even halting development, the seasonal river continues to drain the villagers, both financially and socially. During every flood the river causes heavy damage when it overflows.
