Officials in Mohali were unable to procure a motor to pump out standing water, highlighting gaps in emergency response.
Mohali municipal officials reported that they could not arrange a motor to pump out accumulated water in several low‑lying areas of the city. The shortfall was noted during recent heavy rains that left streets and residential compounds water‑logged.
Local residents complained that the stagnant water hampered movement and posed health risks, while businesses faced disruptions.
The administration said that efforts are underway to source the required equipment, but logistical delays have slowed the response. Authorities have urged citizens to exercise caution and report any further water‑related hazards.
