In this episode of Takaro Kids, we talk about the severe flooding in Northern India, including states like Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh. We explain how excessive rain, changes in monsoon patterns, and climate change contribute to the floods. We also discuss the impact on farmers, the destruction of homes and infrastructure, and the efforts for rescue and aid using modern technology like drones. Additionally, we explore how illegal construction, overpopulation, and deforestation worsen the situation. Finally, there is a quiz question as always, plus we announce the winner of the last episode's quiz!
