Important Points:


1. Recurring Flood Disaster
Monsoon rains, instead of being a blessing, have become a recurring national disaster.
Root causes: poor planning, fragile infrastructure, and weak governance.
Losses rarely compensated, leaving rural communities trapped in poverty
2. 2025 Flood Impact
Punjab faced historic flooding, marking its worst devastation ever.
Casualties: 842 deaths, 1.2 million displaced, 4+ million affected.
Economic damage: $6–10 billion.
Food security, supply chains, and stability under threat.

3. Punjab’s Critical Role
Punjab produces two-thirds of Pakistan’s wheat, rice, cotton, and sugarcane.
Agriculture feeds millions, sustains rural incomes, and drives exports.
Rice sector alone earned $4.19 billion (FY25) but now faces crippling losses.


4. Historical Precedent
2022 floods: $30 billion losses, 33 million displaced, 1,700 deaths.
World Bank: 82% of damages in agriculture, 4.4 million acres farmland, 800,000 livestock lost.
Sindh worst hit, with massive national-scale damage.
Echoes of 2010 floods: 20 million affected, 8 million displaced, 1/5th of country submerged.
