Flood situation improves, cleaning work on war footing
Due to less rainfall in the mountains, the water level of rivers in Punjab is continuously decreasing, and the situation is gradually becoming normal. The damage is now being assessed in the flood-affected areas.
The flood situation in the state has improved since the last one week and the water level of all the rivers is receding. Meanwhile, the state government has intensified the cleaning operation in the affected areas.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said that cleaning work is going on on a war footing in different parts of Punjab.
