In Chishtian, a protective embankment near Basti Lodhran along the Sutlej River broke due to strong water flow, causing floodwaters to enter nearby villages.
Police said the situation escalated in Basti Sial where two groups clashed over breaching another embankment to divert water. One party wanted to break the dyke to save their homes, leading to a violent fight.
The clash intensified with sticks and rods being used, leaving six people injured. Police confirmed that two suspects have been arrested while others managed to flee.
