Ten Family Members Drown as SUV is Swept Away by Flash Flood in Punjab


Hoshiarpur, August 11 — A tragic accident occurred on Sunday when ten members of a family from Himachal Pradesh were swept away by a sudden flood while traveling in an SUV to a wedding in Nawanshahr, Punjab. The vehicle was carried away by the rising waters of a rivulet near Jejon town in the Mahilpur block of Hoshiarpur district.

Out of the 11 people in the SUV, only the driver was rescued; the remaining ten drowned. The family, led by Deepak Bhatia from Dehra near Mehatpur in Una district, included his father Surjeet Bhatia, mother Paramjeet Kaur, uncle Sarup Chand, aunts Bandar and Shino, as well as his daughters Bhavna (18) and Anku (20), and son Harmeet (12).

The incident occurred as the SUV crossed the Himachal border and attempted to navigate through the Jejon rivulet. The water flow suddenly increased, causing the vehicle to become stuck in mud before being swept away by the strong current. Emergency services and police are currently on the scene.
