NewsToday with Rajdeep Sardesai: North India Floods | Climate Emergency Or A Man-Made Disaster?

The NewsToday with Rajdeep Sardesai examines the 2025 unprecedented monsoon rains, which triggered the worst flooding in decades across North India, impacting states from Punjab to Delhi NCR. The overflowing Ravi, Sutlej, and Beas rivers inundated thousands of villages and vast agricultural areas . The investigation explores the dual factors contributing to this catastrophe: a climate emergency manifesting in extreme, frequent weather events and a man-made crisis involving unchecked urbanisation, encroachments on floodplains and hillsides, and critically failed drainage systems, exemplified by the civic collapse in Gurugram, the ‘Millennium City’. The program also delves into India’s urban flooding crisis in cities like Gurugram and Bengaluru, with an expert attributing the issue to systemic engineering failures and a lack of intellectual capability within civic agencies . Additionally, the report covers the conclusion of the Maratha reservation agitation in Mumbai, activist Manoj Jarange Patil’s protest, and the government’s concession to key demands . The Delhi High Court’s denial of bail to activists including Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case is also highlighted . Furthermore, the video addresses US criticism regarding PM Modi’s meeting with Russian and Chinese leaders , and the severe impact of floods on Himachal Pradesh’s apple growers . #northindiafloods #punjabfloods #gurugramrains #climateemergency #manmadedisaster #urbancollapse #monsoon2025 #climatechange #indiatoday #floods #waterlogging #environment #urbanplanning #infrastructure #extremeweather #urbanflooding #sinkingcities #gurugram #bengaluru #marathareservation #manojjarangepatil #obc #umarkhalid #sharjeelimam #delhiriots #uapa #indiausrelations #himachalfloods #applecrisis
