A 2‑year‑old boy named Deva drowned when rainwater flooded a mud‑brick house in a Mohali slum, after his parents had gone to work.
On Sunday, relentless rain struck Mohali, causing water to surge into a low‑lying mud‑brick dwelling in a slum area. The child, Deva, who was sleeping on a low cot inside the house, was swept away by the sudden influx of water and drowned. His parents had left the home earlier that day to earn wages, leaving the child unattended. The incident highlights the vulnerability of slum dwellings to extreme weather events. Local authorities have yet to issue a statement on rescue or relief efforts.
