📅 Tuesday, August 5, 2025
India is currently facing one of its most devastating flood seasons in recent history, as intense monsoon rains, cloudbursts, landslides, and overflowing rivers have affected more than 5.5 lakh people across over 10 states. Entire regions have been displaced, with homes, bridges, and livelihoods washed away — turning normal life into a survival battle for millions.
⚠️ What’s Causing the Flood Crisis?
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued red and orange alerts for widespread rainfall beginning in early May. States including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Assam, Mizoram, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and even the capital territory of Delhi-NCR have experienced catastrophic floods — largely attributed to climate change-driven weather volatility.
