Som River's Fury: Flood Threat in Villages

The Som river in Haryana is in spate due to heavy rains in the region, causing flood threats in multiple villages. A breach in a river embankment worsened the situation, with water overtopping a critical bridge connecting Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Additional rainfall exacerbated concerns statewide.

The Som river in Haryana surged on Sunday after persistent heavy rains in Yamunanagar and other areas across the state and neighboring Himachal Pradesh.

The river's overflow has led to a potential flood risk in villages like Paniwala, particularly following a breach in the river embankment. Water was seen running over the bridge at Dhanaura village, a crucial link between Haryana's Ranjitpur and Himachal Pradesh.

Meanwhile, several areas in Haryana, including Panchkula, Kurukshetra, Yamunanagar, and Ambala, experienced significant rainfall over the weekend, compounding the ongoing concerns of regional flooding.
