Rain lashes northern region
Bangkok Post
|September 04, 2025
Widespread flooding has hit several parts of northern India, officials said, with more thunderstorms forecast yesterday as local media reported that 10,000 people were evacuated from the river banks in capital Delhi.
-
The monsoon season in India has been particularly intense this year, killing at least 130 people in August alone in north India, wiping out villages and destroying infrastructure.
The latest round of flooding has hit northern Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab, where the Chenab and Tawi rivers have risen above the danger mark at several spots.
The swollen rivers have triggered landslides and damaged many roads, disconnecting parts of the mountainous regions of Jammu and Himachal from the rest of India.
