In Punjab, the weather normally remained clear throughout the day in most parts with bright sunshine today. It helped different agencies engage in rescue and relief operations in the flood-affected areas of the State. However, the flood situation in some districts is still grim as hundreds of villages are marooned under flood water. In Sangrur district, hundreds of villages were marooned due to a breach in the Ghaggar River at three places in Makur Sahib, Fullar, and Mandvi areas of Moonak.
 
Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann reiterated the firm commitment of the State government to duly compensate the people for every single penny of loss incurred by them on account of heavy and incessant rainfall across the State.

He said that all the dams in the State are safe and water is flowing below the danger mark. The regular tab is being kept through district administrations in the entire state regarding the level of water and the relief measures being carried out in these districts, he added further.
 
In the Ferozpur district, several border villages are reported to be marooned in flood water after a Bundh breached the Pakistan side on the zero line at India-Pakistan International Border.

BSF officials are helping affected villagers in the area. Meanwhile, The BBMB authorities have clarified that there is no plan to open the floodgates of the Bhakhra dam tomorrow. At present, 19,000 cusec water is being released from the dam and now with additional 16,000 cusec water, a total of 35,000 cusec water will be released from ten in the morning for nearly ten hours tomorrow through turbines only which are a normal process.
