Tarn Taran, September 12: Despite efforts by the district administration to control flooding in the Kasur Nullah, the situation in more than a dozen border area villages remains critical.
There was an acute shortage of dry and green fodder, and animals were in an urgent need of vaccination against possible infection.
The administration is yet to start the special girdawari ordered by Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh yesterday to assess loss to crops and houses.
The worst-affected villages include Thathi Jaimal Singh, Kalia, Sankatra, Gajjal, Noorwala, Mastgarh, besides Khemkaran township along the Pakistan border.
DC Kulwant Singh and Khemkaran MLA Sukhpal Singh Bhullar along with officials visited the affected villages and issued instructions to provide relief to the residents.
