Overview

• Floodwaters entered Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, with images showing the premises submerged to about 10 feet.
• The Kartarpur Corridor area and nearby Indian border villages reported flooding that disrupted local access.
• Breaches in the Dhussi bandh inundated surrounding areas and severed Dera Baba Nanak’s road connection with the rest of Punjab.
• The Ravi’s level rose sharply since Tuesday, with some reports linking the surge to releases from the Pong dam, a cause not independently verified.
• Unlike a brief 2023 episode that spared the shrine, the current inundation has reached inside the complex.
