Ferozepur, Aug. 30 -- The daily retreat ceremony at the Hussainiwala Joint Check Post (JCP) on the India-Pakistan border in Ferozepur district was temporarily suspended on Friday due to massive flooding caused by the swelling the Sutlej River and breaches in the embankments. Authorities said that the suspension would remain in effect until conditions return to normal. The JCP is currently submerged under nearly seven feet of floodwater. Amid the discharge of 2.62 lakh cusecs of water from Harike Headworks and another 2.6 lakh cusecs from Hussainiwala Headworks, as many as 120 villages in two bordering districts- Fazilka and Ferozepur remained submerged under water. "The ceremony will resume once water levels recede and conditions stabilise," said a BSF official who didn't wish to be named. The flood crisis worsened on Thursday evening after a major portion of the defence bundh near the international border collapsed, allowing Sutlej waters to surge rapidly into Pakistani territory. The flow rebounded from the Pakistani embankments and inundated the Hussainiwala JCP under nearly seven feet of water. Rising levels have sparked fears of potential damage to the JCP's security infrastructure if the inflow continues.More than 100 villages in Ferozepur and about 20 in Fazilka are under water. DC Deepashikha Sharma said that over 3,000 people have been evacuated with support from the army, BSF, NDRF, and police....
