Residents in Ludhiana villages urged to prepare for potential flooding, with helplines and rescue centers set up.
The Ludhiana district administration has sounded an alert after an embankment in the eastern part of the district came under heavy pressure due to strong flow of the Sutlej river.
Villages including Sasrali, Boont, Rawat, Hawas, Seera, Boothgarh, Mangli Tanda, Dheri, Khawajke, Khassi Khurd, Mangli Kadar, Mattewara, Mangat and Meharban may face flooding if the 'bundh' (embankment) weakens further and gives way, officials said on Friday (September 5, 2025).
