Punjab on alert as rising Himachal dam levels raise flood fears
As water levels in dams continue to rise due to incessant rains in Himachal Pradesh, particularly in the upstream areas of the Beas and Satluj rivers, and water keeps gushing into Punjab's plains, the state government has rushed its teams to flood-affected and flood-prone areas. Controlled release of water is being done from Pong Dam for nearly a week.
