Punjab is reeling from catastrophic floods triggered by overflowing rivers and relentless rainfall, marking one of the worst disasters in decades. With 29 lives lost and over 2.56 lakh people affected across 12 districts, Punjabi and Bollywood stars are stepping up to provide critical aid.
Diljit Dosanjh, Sonu Sood, Gippy Grewal, Ammy Virk, and singers like Karan Aujla, Ranjit Bawa, and Sunanda Sharma are leading relief efforts. Satinder Sartaaj and Jasbir Jassi have been tirelessly distributing essentials to flood-hit families.
The floods, fuelled by swollen Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers, have devastated regions like Ferozepur, Tarn Taran, and Fazilka. Heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir have worsened the crisis, leaving thousands homeless.
