Abohar Flooded Following Nonstop Rain, Worries Cotton Growers About Crop Damage
Abohar town and its neighboring villages have been battered by continuous rain for the past 24 hours, leading to severe waterlogging in several areas, including the Sub-divisional Administrative Complex. The situation has left farmers deeply concerned about the cotton crop, as many fields are now submerged.
The rain continued intermittently throughout the day, exacerbating water accumulation in the city. The flooding in administrative offices disrupted operations, causing difficulties for both staff and visitors.
Residents have expressed frustration that the state government relocated the divisional office of the Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board, leaving only junior engineers in Abohar. They also criticized the lack of budget and heavy equipment necessary to clean the main sewage lines before the monsoon season.
