A year after Sultanpur Lodhi witnessed one of the worst floods in recent times, residents of 16 villages in the worst-affected area say they remain vulnerable and are demanding stronger embankments along the Beas. The Kapurthala administration, however, maintains that extensive embankment-strengthening and spur-laying work has been undertaken since last year's floods.
