Floods cause food, drinking water crisis in Haryana

Kurukshetra: Thousands of train passengers and residents of Haryana's Ambala and Kurukshetra districts had a terrible time as incessant rains breached riverbanks triggering distressing floods. People in the affected areas complained that civil and railway authorities had failed to provide them drinking water and food over the past 24 hours. Nearly a dozen trains, including the Shatabdi, had been cancelled and others were delayed by over 10 hours, stranding hundreds of passengers at railway stations in Ambala Cantonment, Kurukshetra and other places.
