Question

AS
a reporter of the statesman, write a report in
about 60 words, on the huge damage caused by the
heavy rains in your area​

Answer 1

Answer:

The flood situation in Punjab is likely to improve as the release of excess water from the Bhakra dam has been reduced following a request from the state government. Following heavy rains and release of water from the Bhakra Dam, the swollen river Sutlej and its tributaries flooded villages in several areas, causing extensive damage to crops, especially paddy, and houses in low-lying areas.

The situation, however, is likely to improve as the release of excess water through spillway gates from the Bhakra dam has been reduced to about 8,000 cusecs. Over 8,000 poultry birds and 120 bovines have been reported dead in the Punjab floods. The total value of the livestock loss has been pegged at Rs 91 lakh. A few villages in Ferozepur district are facing a flood threat after a major portion of an embankment in the catchment area of the Sutlej river was washed away due to the Pakistan's release of water into the Indian territory.
