Meanwhile, another tragedy struck the district when a wall surrounding Miskin Tank Lake collapsed due to heavy rainfall in the region. After the incident, water from the lake flooded the surrounding area, turning the grounds of Gandhi Vidyalaya into another lake.
For the past few days, the district has been reeling under incessant rainfall. In some places, houses have collapsed, while in others, hundreds of acres of farmland have gone underwater, leaving farmers struggling to sustain their livelihoods.
