Fazilka Records 12.5°C in October — A Stark Reminder of Climate Change

As per the IMD Chandigarh Bulletin,
Fazilka recorded the lowest temperature of 12.5°C last night — the coldest in Punjab and Haryana this October.

Our winters are getting colder, and our summers are becoming hotter —
a clear warning of environmental imbalance: floods, polluted water, and extreme weather.

If we don't act now,
Fazilka will turn into a desert —
and our future generations will never forgive us.
