Punjab flood victims struggle to rebuild lives one year later

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Severe floods hit Punjab in August 2025, washing away homes including that of Shakti Mahajan's family in Pathankot's Kothey Manwal village.
A year later, the Mahajan family still lives in a rented house and the ruins of their destroyed home remain largely untouched.
The family lost their house, a shuttering business warehouse, cash, gold, documents and children's certificates in the floods.
Shakti Mahajan says the family received only about 1.60 lakh rupees as government compensation, which he says does not cover the losses.
Government rules allow up to 1.20 lakh rupees for a fully destroyed house in plains areas, and many affected families say these amounts are not enough to rebuild.

Whether compensation rules for fully destroyed homes are revised upward for flood victims.
Progress of the Mahajan family's efforts to restart their shuttering business using loans.
Implementation of special surveys that can provide additional relief for partially damaged houses.
