In Punjab, some of the worst floods in decades hit, affecting over 2,300 villages and hundreds of thousands of people. With so much stagnant water, health officials are worried about mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and chikungunya starting outbreaks. To combat this, the government has intensified fogging, launched door-to-door checks, stepped up surveillance, and made free testing and treatment available in local hospitals. They’re also trying to involve communities: urging residents to remove stagnant water, clean up breeding sites, and report symptoms early. Villages and urban areas alike are part of this campaign. With monsoon season patterns shifting, these public health measures may have to become more routine rather than reactive.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab is facing criticism from both Congress and BJP after the failure of two gates at the Madhopur headworks during recent floods in Amritsar and Gurdaspur. Three junior officials were suspended, but opponents are demanding accountability from higher officials for what they say was mismanagement, especially in the release of large water volumes from the Ranjit Sagar Dam. #PunjabFloods #MadhopurHeadworks #AAPGovernment #FloodMismanagement #RanjitSagarDam #Amritsar #Gurdaspur #PoliticalCriticism #Congress #BJP #AccountabilityDemand #InfrastructureFailure #WaterManagement #PunjabPolitics #News #newsone
