For the uninitiated, the state of Punjab has been dealing with a natural catastrophe as the Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi rivers have been overflowing due to torrential rains in their catchment regions across Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. The areas most affected include Gurdaspur, Fazilka, Kapurthala, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Hoshiarpur, and Amritsar. For safety reasons, the Char Dham Yatra and Hemkund Sahib have also been put on hold till September 5.
