The floods have resulted in the loss of crops on 3 lakh acres of land. The situation has been aggravated by mismanagement of dams, as alleged by Congress's Warring. In the wake of the devastating floods, schools in Punjab will remain closed until September 3 to ensure the safety of students and staff.
