Overview

• NDRF, SDRF and police carried out boat evacuations in Ambala after the Tangri overflow broke an embankment and inundated residential colonies.
• Tangri flows peaked near 38,000 cusecs before easing, and the Markanda rose past 50,000 cusecs at Mullana, exceeding its danger level.
• Patiala remained on high alert as the Ghaggar hovered around 15 feet—just below the 16‑foot danger mark—with overflow into fields in multiple villages.
• Untsar, Kami Khurd, Lachru Kalan, Chamaru, Jhand Mangoli and Sarala Khurd reported crop damage and submerged roads as crews strengthened embankments and cleared debris.
• Patiala officials noted falling levels upstream at Bhankharpur and expected a decline locally, while an Akali leader alleged inadequate repairs from 2023 worsened losses.
