In this special video, Murtaza Dar, Editor Lahore, sits with Nukta correspondents Haider Amin Yashkun, Usama Manj, and Laiba Zainab to discuss the devastating floods across Punjab.
From the rising waters of the Ravi, Sutlej, and Chenab to the hardest-hit districts, including Lahore, Kasur, Pakpattan, Multan, and Jalalpur, they share firsthand insights on rescue operations, government response, and critical gaps in relief efforts.
The team also examines how media coverage, viral TikToks, and social projection sometimes hinder actual relief work, while inflation and vendor shortages further challenge survival for flood victims. A deep dive into the realities on the ground, beyond the headlines.
