Panjab Floods 2025
Summary
Every year, thousands of acres of crops in Panjab are unyieldingly decimated by unseasonal rains, storms and floods. In August 2025, Panjab was devastated by an unyielding flood. Torrential rain and subsequent flooding significantly impacted 1000s of villages across several districts in Panjab, posing threats to human and animal life.

How we are helping
Khalsa Aid has been on the ground since August 13, carrying out large-scale relief operations in four flood-affected districts of Punjab — Gurdaspur, Kapurthala, Ferozepur, and Abohar. The organisation’s volunteers have been working tirelessly to rescue stranded families and their livestock, while also providing clean drinking water, ration bags, and medical assistance. In addition to this, fodder is being supplied to sustain animals impacted by the floods, and teams are coordinating with veterinary doctors to reach homes where livestock have fallen sick due to prolonged exposure to floodwaters.
In Kapurthala district, nearly 16 villages have been severely affected following a breach in the Beas River. Khalsa Aid teams were among the first to step in, starting their operations in Baupur, Sangra, Baupur Kadeem, Baupur Jadeed, and surrounding areas, where hundreds of families have been struggling to cope with the devastation. In Ferozepur, relief efforts are focused in Rudnewala village, which remains waterlogged and cut off from basic supplies.
In Abohar, heavy rainwater floods earlier this month left vast tracts of farmland submerged, creating immense hardship for farmers. To address this crisis, Khalsa Aid deployed special de-watering systems that have already dried more than 1,000 acres of waterlogged land. Another Khalsa Aid team in the Abohar area is working directly with farmers to help them restore their fields and return to cultivation. This intervention has provided a lifeline for many whose livelihoods had been placed under severe threat by the flooding.
The situation in Gurdaspur has been particularly alarming. A breach in the Ravi River left over 500 children stranded in Navodaya School and a girls’ hostel. Khalsa Aid volunteers immediately mobilized to carry out rescue operations, bringing the children to safety where their anxious parents had been waiting. The organisation emphasised that such missions remain a priority as the risk to life continues in low-lying areas.
We remain committed to serving the people of Punjab in this time of crisis. Our teams are working day and night to ensure that every affected family receives timely support
