Sources in the ministry told ANI that Punjab's non-participation in the scheme has left farmers dependent only on state-funded relief, which is limited in scope and unable to cover widespread losses caused by natural calamities.

The Prime Minister and Home Minister assured the state of all possible assistance, emphasising that the Central Government stands firmly with Uttarakhand in this hour of crisis.

The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) rescued three people after the Chandrabhaga River in Rishikesh district swelled following heavy rains since Tuesday morning, causing water to reach the highway and prompting authorities to urge residents to remain cautious near rivers and streams.
Heavy rainfall lashed Dehradun district on Monday night, causing the Tamsa river to swell and inundate the Tapkeshwar Mahadev temple, one of the city's most prominent shrines. Water entered the temple courtyard and rose to the statue of Hanuman, though the sanctum sanctorum remained safe.
